New Delhi: India squad for ODI and T20 series have been announced after Indian selectors concluded their long meeting. Rohit Sharma is back as skipper for the ODI and T20 series against the West Indies. There have been surprise inclusions in both T20 and ODI squads after a disappointing South Africa tour where Team India suffered 2-1 defeat in tests and 3-0 whitewash in the ODI.

Ravi Bishnoi have earned a maiden call-up in the ODI and T20 series. There were reports that Ravichandran Ashwin was not fit and hence has been rested from the both squads. Young left-arm Chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav have been added to ODI squad.
