BCCI announces 15-man squad for Test series against West Indies

Team India i𒊎s all set to lock horns with the Windies in two-match Test series starting from ♋October 4 in Rajkot.

The Board of Control for Cricket in I♒ndia (BCCI) have announced the 15-man squad for the series which is supposed to be one-sided given that the visitors have historically struggled to compete in the sub-continent.

Regular skipper Virat Kohli is back to lead the team after being rested for the Asia Cup 2018 while Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik have been axed after a poor Test series♚ in England.
