India ODI squad vs WI: Rohit keeps his place, Jurel preferred over Pant

Naman Dhir and Auqib Nabi have been handed India's maiden ODI call-ups in the absence of key players due to the Asian Games 2026

The Ajit Agarkar-led BCCI selection committee on Wednesday announced India’s 15-member squad for the three-match ODI series against the West Indies, with Rohit Sharma retaining his place and Dhruv Jurel preferred over Rishabh Pant as the second wicketkeeping option. Punjab all-rounder Naman Dhir and Jammu and Kashmir seamer Auqib Nabi received their maiden ODI call-ups, while Ravindra Jadeja returned to the squad.

Shubman Gill will continue to lead the ODI side, with KL Rahul named vice-captain. Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal are also part of the squad for the series, which begins in Thiruvananthapuram on September 27.

Rohit and Kohli have been included in India's ODI squad as both veterans continue to be available only in the 50-over format. Their inclusion comes as India begin preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Rohit had been the subject of speculation over his ODI future following India's previous assignment in England, but the selectors have retained him for the three-match series against the West Indies. Gill will continue as captain, with Rahul taking over as vice-captain.
