BCCI Announces India Squad Return of Jadeja, Pant and Pandya for West Indies Series

BCCI released the official India men’s cricket squad for the upcoming West Indies series, confirming the return of all‑rounder Ravindra Jadeja, wicket‑keeper batsman Rishabh Pant and fast‑bowling all‑rounder Hardik Pandya after periods away from international play.

Jasprit Bumrah remains in the pace contingent, with the board noting his fitness and availability despite a recent injury, ensuring his experience and speed are part of the bowling attack for both the West Indies and Afghanistan fixtures.

Harshit Rana earns his first senior call‑up, added to the squad for the Afghanistan T20I series and the Asian Games, reflecting the board’s emphasis on integrating young talent into the national side.

Team composition now mixes seasoned internationals with newcomers, a strategy intended to provide depth in batting, flexibility in bowling options and a balanced unit as India prepares for consecutive series against West Indies and Afghanistan.
