Indian regular players likely to be rested for white-ball series against West Indies: A few Indian regular white-ball players are likely to be rested for the upcoming limited-overs series against West Indies. The report published in Cricbuzz states that though the names of the players to be rested aren’t yet finalised, it is understandable that a couple of senior players may be rested in the Caribbean tour.
Team India will tour West Indies and the US for three matches ODI series and five games T20I series, starting July 22.
The squad will be announced in a couple of days’ time. It has been learnt that the chairman of selectors, Chetan Sharma travelled with the Indian contingent for the fifth test match. Sharma is likely to have a chat with a couple of senior players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, before rolling out the white ball squads for the upcoming tour.
Rohit Sharma is highly unlikely to get the rest as he hasn’t played any international cricket in the past few weeks. Moreover, the selectors will not entertain the idea of resting skipper Rohit Sharma once more as head coach Rahul Dravid had to work with multiple captains in his short tenure.
