The squad also includes veteran batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, confirming their continued availability for India’s ODI plans.

• Shubman Gill (Captain)
• Rohit Sharma
• Virat Kohli
• Ruturaj Gaikwad

• Naman Dhir

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retain their places

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are both part of the ODI squad despite discussions around their future in the 50-over format.

Rohit’s ODI future had been a subject of speculation ahead of the selection meeting. He recently said that the October 2027 World Cup was still far away when asked whether he would feature in the tournament.

With both senior batters selected, they remain part of India’s ODI squad for the West Indies series.

Shubman Gill to lead India

Shubman Gill will continue as India’s ODI captain, while KL Rahul has been appointed vice-captain for the series.

Shreyas Iyer, who has previously served as Gill’s deputy, is unavailable for the ODI series because he will be involved with India’s Asian Games campaign.

Ruturaj Gaikwad is among the players available to fill the middle-order role in Iyer’s absence.

Ravindra Jadeja returns to ODI squad

Ravindra Jadeja has also been included in the ODI squad after missing India’s previous ODI series in England.

Kuldeep Yadav is another notable selection in the bowling group. The pace attack includes Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar and Auqib Nabi.

Rishabh Pant not included

Rishabh Pant has not been selected in India’s ODI squad for the West Indies series. Instead, Dhruv Jurel has been included alongside KL Rahul.

Pant has been named captain of the Rest of India squad for the upcoming Irani Cup against Ranji Trophy champions Jammu & Kashmir.

Nitish Kumar Reddy moved to ODI squad

Nitish Kumar Reddy has also been included in the ODI team after being withdrawn from India’s Asian Games squad.

The BCCI confirmed that Varun Chakaravarthy has been ruled out of the Japan T20I and Asian Games because of a side strain, with Vipraj Nigam named as his replacement.

India vs West Indies ODI series schedule

The three-match ODI series will begin on September 27.

The ODI series will be followed by five T20Is, beginning October 6.

Mohsin Naqvi’s tenure as president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) could end before the next men’s Asia Cup, potentially opening the way for the Indian cricket team to receive the Asia Cup trophies currently held by the continental governing body.

Naqvi, who is also Pakistan’s Interior Minister, became ACC president on April 3, 2025. According to the report, the ACC president serves a two-year term, which means Naqvi’s current tenure is scheduled to end on April 3, 2027.

The next men’s Asia Cup is scheduled to be played in June 2027, meaning the tournament is set to take place after Naqvi’s current term expires. An extension of his tenure would require unanimous consent, according to the report.

India’s Asia Cup trophies remain with ACC

The issue of the trophies has become a major point of contention following recent Asia Cup events.

The Indian men’s team defeated Pakistan in the 2025 Asia Cup final but is yet to receive the tournament trophy. The trophy was subsequently kept at the ACC office.

A similar controversy emerged during the women’s Asia Cup. The Indian women’s team did not receive the trophy from Naqvi after winning the final against Sri Lanka.

The latest report suggests that once Naqvi leaves the ACC presidency, the Indian cricket team may receive possession of both Asia Cup trophies.

Naqvi’s re-election considered unlikely

Naqvi became ACC president after Jay Shah, who held the position from 2021 to 2025. Shah was unanimously re-elected for a second term, according to the report.

However, the report says Naqvi’s chances of securing another term are considered very slim in light of the controversies surrounding his tenure. It also reports that the next ACC president is likely to come from the Afghanistan Cricket Board, with the next term expected to run until mid-2029.

For now, however, Naqvi remains the ACC president, with his existing term scheduled to continue until April 3, 2027.

India’s Women’s Asia Cup triumph was followed by another controversy surrounding the tournament trophy after the team did not accept the silverware from Asian Cricket Council chairman Mohsin Naqvi.

India defeated Sri Lanka by 72 runs at the Dubai International Cricket Ground on Sunday to secure a record-extending eighth Women’s Asia Cup title. However, the Indian players did not come onto the field for the post-match presentation ceremony.

Fans chant “Trophy Chor” at Dubai stadium

The controversy intensified when fans at the stadium chanted “Trophy Chor” as Naqvi left the venue. The incident came a year after the Indian men’s team had also declined to receive the Asia Cup trophy and medals from Naqvi following their title win.

Unlike last year’s men’s Asia Cup episode, Naqvi left the stadium without taking the trophy with him. The trophy is currently with the ACC, according to the report.

India miss trophy presentation after Asia Cup win

India’s players also did not return to the ground after BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia presented Nandini Sharma with an in-house best fielder medal.

Sri Lanka, meanwhile, completed its presentation formalities. The runners-up received their cheque from Naqvi, while the players and support staff accepted medals from Sri Lanka Cricket interim chief Eran Wikramaratne. Naqvi subsequently presented the award to Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu before leaving the stadium.

Asia Cup trophy row continues

The latest episode marks the second consecutive year in which India’s Asia Cup title celebration has been affected by a trophy presentation involving Naqvi.

The previous men’s Asia Cup incident occurred after India’s victory last year, when the team declined to receive the trophy and medals from Naqvi. This year’s women’s team has now followed a similar course after winning the title in Dubai.

The development comes amid strained India-Pakistan relations following last year’s Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. The two countries’ players have also followed a no-handshake protocol when meeting at ICC events, according to the report.
