Kemar Roach, Fabian Allen and Darren Bravo made comebacks for West Indies, meanwhile
India resisted bringing together the wristspin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, instead going with the option of Washington Sundar, who can also bat at No. 7. Washington himself was making a comeback from injury. Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna were India’s three fast bowlers.
West Indies welcomed back Kemar Roach to their XI. Fabian Allen and Darren Bravo made comebacks too, and opener Brandon King got his first ODI in over two years.
