While some veterans may lose their places, some may be rested on the Windies tour as well. The biggest thing is that the return of Sanju Samson, who captained the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, to Team India is almost certain. However, no official update has come yet.

The Indian team will play two Test matches in the West Indies from July 12 to July 24. After that, three ODIs will be played from July 27 to August 1. Then from August 3 to August 13, there will be a series of five T20 matches. For this, the Indian squad has not been announced yet. But after the defeat at the Oval, the Indian management can take some tough decisions. Meanwhile, the biggest news is coming that many young players may return to the team on the upcoming tour. At the same time, some players who have shown Jauhar in IPL can be selected for the first time in Team India.

Sanju Samson will comeback!

Sanju Samson played the first match of the T20 series against Sri Lanka in January this year. After that he was out due to injury. Then he did not return to Team India. Let us tell you that he did not get a chance in the T20 World Cup 2022 last year, while before that he was a part of the ODI team continuously. But as soon as the tournament got over, he was dropped from the ODI team and entered in the team of senior players. The result is in front, the team first lost the ODI series in Bangladesh, then had to face defeat against Australia in their own home. Now once again the news of Sanju Samson's return has intensified. However, his performance in IPL 2023 was nothing special and his team Rajasthan, the runner up of 2022, also could not reach the playoffs. But the talent of this player is not hidden from anyone.

The danger of being out on this veteran player

According to the report of Cricbuzz, Team India may decide to drop Cheteshwar Pujara in the upcoming Test series against West Indies. Also, the biggest thing is that Yashasvi Jaiswal is being seen as his alternative. Yashasvi's performance has been excellent for some time now in domestic cricket and then in the IPL. During the recent World Test Championship, he was present in the list of standby players along with Suryakumar Yadav and Mukesh Kumar. Now the luck of this player can open with the international cap. On the other hand, Pujara has disappointed a lot. He was also a flop in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023. After that, despite playing consecutive county matches in England, he failed miserably for Team India in the final of the Test Championship. Also, there are reports of giving rest to Mohammed Shami.
