Team News:

India: The visitors have gone in with a strong team to the Caribbean. From their Champions Trophy squad Jasprit Bumrah and Rohit Sharma have been rested, while the exciting duo of Rishabh Pant and Kuldeep Yadav have been drafted in.

India's spinners came up a cropper in England, but will be expected to find more purchase on the slow pitches of the Caribbean. Ashwin and Jadeja should be starters, but don't be surprised to see Kuldeep drafted in for either of them.

Mohammad Shami, who failed to play a single game in the Champions Trophy, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar would fight for the two pacers' spots.

Ajinkya Rahane should slot in at the top of the order alongside the in-form Shikhar Dhawan.

Expected XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin/Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Shami/Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav.

West indies: The hosts named a 13-man squad for the first two ODIs, without Shannon Gabriel who is out injured. They should go in with the same side that played in the third ODI against Afghanistan, with Devendra Bishoo and Kesrick Williams on the bench.

Squad: Evin Lewis, Kieran Powell, Shai Hope (wk), Jonathan Carter, Jason Mohammad, Roston Chase, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder (C), Ashley Nurse, Miguel Cummins, Alzarri Joseph

What they said:

"We've spoken long and hard. The batsmen know that they have to start producing. The bowlers have done a great job consistently and it's time for the batsmen to step up. They want to be out there, they want to score runs against a formidable opponent. I'm sure they'll do well" - Stuart Law, Windies coach.

"The core will be more or less the same. For a tournament like the world cup, you have to recognise the 15 who will be playing. So maybe 10 more guys who are strong contenders. So from a pool of 25 you can look at different players at different stages, who is going to perform better at pressure stages, We have to try and address these things as a team" - Kohli.
