West Indies, who are two-time ODI World Cup champions, have failed to qualify for the ODI World Cup 2023 this year for the first time in their history. Both sides will have some new faces after the two-match ODI series.


For India, Sanju Samson could get a look-in as the specialist wicketkeeper to replace Ishan Kishan, who was first-choice keeper in the two-match Test series. Young fast bowler Umran Malik could also make a comeback into the ODI side, having picked up 13 wickets in 8 matches in his brief career so far.


Mohammed Siraj (20.72) has the best average of any India bowler to have taken at least 40 ODI wickets and he will be the leader of the bowling attack once again. But the BCCI have decided to rest Siraj for the ODI series and either Jaydev Unadkat or Mukesh Kumar will replace him in the lineup. West Indies skipper Shai Hope is 171 runs away from becoming the 11th West Indies batter to the 5,000 mark in ODIs. Rovman Powell (975) and Brandon King (969), meanwhile, are nearing the 1,000 mark.
