India retain Rohit Sharma, hand Nitish Reddy and Jurel ODI call-ups for West Indies

India named their ODI squad for the three-match series against the West Indies, retaining Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli while naming KL Rahul as vice-captain. Nitish Kumar Reddy was withdrawn from the Asian Games squad to play the ODIs, giving him a chance to establish himself as a seam-bowling all-rounder in Hardik Pandya's absence. Dhruv Jurel was selected as the second wicketkeeper ahead of Rishabh Pant.

Naman Dhir and Auqib Nabi earned their first ODI call-ups. Ravindra Jadeja returned to the squad after missing the England series, while spinner Kuldeep Yadav and seamer Mohammed Siraj provide experience. The three ODIs begin in Thiruvananthapuram on September 27, move to Guwahati on September 30 and end in New Chandigarh on October 3.

The selectors have kept the core intact ahead of the 2027 World Cup rather than accelerating a full transition. Rohit's inclusion follows his 138 at Lord's in July, which came after speculation about his future in the format.
