Rinku Singh, Mohammed Shami and Manav Suthar miss out on India ODI squad

India named a 15-man ODI squad on 16 September for the three-match series against West Indies that begins on 27 September in Thiruvananthapuram. Shubman Gill will captain the side with KL Rahul named vice-captain after Shreyas Iyer was ruled out for the Asian Games. The series overlaps with the Asian Games in Japan, which removed several senior players from selection.

Rinku Singh last played an ODI in 2023 and was overlooked despite his experience in the lower middle order. Mohammed Shami was also omitted after modest returns in the Duleep Trophy, while left-arm spinner Manav Suthar missed out despite strong performances in Test cricket. The selectors instead handed maiden ODI call-ups to Punjab all-rounder Naman Dhir and seamer Aaqib Nabi.

Nitish Kumar Reddy was withdrawn from the Asian Games squad to strengthen the ODI group. Ravindra Jadeja returns after missing the preceding series against New Zealand.
