Washington Sundar, who missed the South Africa ODIs after contracting Covid-19, is part of both the squads for the home series. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been dropped from the ODI squad after an underwhelming performance in the 3-match in South Africa earlier this month. Senior spinner R Ashwin is reportedly unavailable for the West Indies series due to injury concerns.
