MUMBAI: Sanju Samson was named in the 15-member squad for the five-match T20I series against the West Indies. While the leadership remained more or less similar with HardikPandya named the captain and SuryakumarYadav his deputy, there was a major shake-up in the rest of the squad. Some of the changes were based on IPL 2023 and a couple of them indicated the start of the transition as far as the Indian T20 team is concerned.
India and West Indies are set to play five T20Is, starting August 3. The first three matches will be played in the Caribbean, with the series opener scheduled to be held in Trinidad and the remaining two in Guyana while the final two will take place in Lauderhill, Florida in the US.
As the BCCI picked a new T20I squad, here’s a look at a full list of changes – who’s in and who’s out from the last time they played a T20I series, back in January.
