West Indies Announces Squad for India White-Ball Tour — Hope to Lead, Jason Holder Rested for the Series

Shai Hope will lead both squads, with Jason Holder rested and Kamil Pooran earning a maiden T20I call-up, CWI said.

  • The West Indies announced squads for the upcoming tour of India, featuring three ODIs and five T20Is starting September 27 across eight cities. Shai Hope will captain both formats against the world's top-ranked side.
  • John Campbell returns to the ODI squad following a hamstring injury, while Kamil Pooran earned a maiden T20I call-up. Jason Holder is rested, and Jewel Andrew replaces Ackeem Auguste, who is recovering from surgery.
  • Kamil Pooran enters the T20I squad after averaging 39 runs. Shimron Hetmyer, having completed an extended recovery following the Caribbean Premier League, will join specifically for the five-match T20I leg.
  • Head Coach Daren Sammy aims to build on momentum from the series win against Sri Lanka. Sammy stated the challenge against world champions provides "valuable preparation" developing a core group ahead of the 2028 T20 World Cup.
  • The first two ODIs conclude the automatic qualification cycle for the ICC Men's 50-Over World Cup. Regardless of results, The West Indies cannot surpass their nearest challengers and must compete in the ICC qualification tournament early next year.
