Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan leave for West Indies
Both Bishnoi and Avesh have been a part of the Indian squad previously. However, the youngsters have not got much of a chance to prove themselves at the highest level. Both Bishnoi and Khan were part of the Lucknow Super Giants squad in IPL 2023. The duo played a crucial role in their team’s success in last year’s edition and will be willing to replicate the same antics for the Men in Blue against WI.
Meanwhile, India and West Indies take on each other in the three-match ODI series starting on Thursday (July 27). The first ODI will be played at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown in Barbados. Rohit Sharma will be leading India in the ODIs but won’t feature in the T20Is.
He has got his form back in the Tets matches, with hundred in the first innings of the first Test. India had sealed the series 1-0 after the second Test finished in a washout. All eyes will also be on Virat Kohli, who will be looking to make a big statement with the bat in the ODIs too.
