The Board of Controlꦬ for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced an unchanged 12-member squad for the second ODI against Windies at Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam on Wednesday.
The team management has decided against making any changes to the sꦫhortlist after Men in Blue won the 1st ODI in G♔uwahati by eight wickets. The final XI will be announced by captain Virat Kohli at the toss.
Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav w⛎as the only player from the shortlist to miss out on the first ODI as India opted for a three seamers including Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed. In the second ODI, however, Kuldeep could make a return to the playing XI in place of a seamer to restrict the flow of runs and alಌso considering the fact that the pitch in Vizag is on the slower side.
India’s 12-member squad:
Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli (c), Ambati Rayudu, Rishabh Pant,ꩲ MS Dhoni (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Khaleel Ahmed.
