Both new and seasoned players were included in the Indian Cricket Board’s most recent selection of the Test team for the upcoming Windies tour. During the competition, some new players can get the chance to join the starting lineup for the squad. If given the opportunity, they will try their hardest to deliver their finest work and contribute significantly to the team.
Due to the absence of Cheteshwar Pujara and Umesh Yadav, two of India’s main players, who participated in the most recent WTC final, the side faces some difficult challenges. Furthermore, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, and Jasprit Bumrah continue to recuperate from their medical conditions, giving the young guns a chance to solidify their position in the squad.

Rohit Sharma, who has received harsh criticism, wants to recover his game and confidence by playing well in the forthcoming series. In the Caribbean, Rohit Sharma will want to play aggressively and lead the squad to a decisive victory over the hosts, who are considered underdogs at their own home.
In recent Test contests for the Indian team, Gill has demonstrated tremendous potential. The way he performed in the 2023 WTC final at the Oval, however, drew criticism. The young player is determined to start India’s WTC 2023–25 campaign off successfully despite the setback.
