Two formats, seven matches, three cities and still it has only been five weeks since the West Indies claimed their first One-Day International series win in five years. Following a competitive 2-1 T20I series defeat to India, the Kieron Pollard-led side now turn their attention to a much sterner test than Afghanistan presented, when they travel to Chennai to kick-start their three-match ODI series against the number two ranked India, on Sunday.

The shift in formats also brings with it a shift in narrative for the visiting WINDIES; as they go from ‘Mission: World Cup Preparations’ to ‘Mission: Make WINDIES Great Again’, looking to rebuild with a core of youngsters. To that end, Cricket West Indies (CWI) named the following 15-man squad for the 50-over leg of this white-ball tour: Sunil Ambris, Roston Chase, Sheldon Cottrell, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Shai Hope (wk), Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Keemo Paul, Khary Pierre, Kieron Pollard (c), Nicholas Pooran, Romario Shepherd, Hayden Walsh Jr.
