The West Indies team will prepare for the two-Test series against India with a six-day camp in Ahmedabad. Cricket West Indies (CWI) has informed the Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that the visitors will train in Ahmedabad from September 24 to 29 before starting their last preparations for the first Test. The Narendra Modi Stadium will host the first Test match on October 2.
“We anticipate that our squad will do well, especially their fast bowling assault, which is pretty thrilling. “From September 24 until the first Test, we are there,” Christ Dehring, CEO of CWI, told Cricbuzz on Saturday.
Vice captain Jomel Warrican and uncapped Khary Pierre, both left-armers, are specialist spinners in the newly revealed team. Roston Chase, the captain, also contributes off-spin on a part-time basis. Even on wickets that are likely to aid spin, the West Indies’ main strength is still pace, with Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Jayden Seales, and Anderson Phillips anticipated to spearhead the attack.
On September 29, the Indian squad will gather in Ahmedabad. If India advances to the Asia Cup final, some players, like captain Shubman Gill, are anticipated to fly straight from Dubai, while others will travel from Bengaluru’s Centre of Excellence, where they will be training. The squad is anticipated to be announced early next week by the national selectors.
It will be the final meeting for a few members of the present selection committee, which will choose the Test team. Two selectors will join the panel after the most recent round of interviews, while two others will step aside. According to what is known, S Sharath will probably be one of the people leaving the Ajit Agarkar-led committee, and Pragyan Ojha and RP Singh would be joining. It’s unclear who the second panellist will leave.
According to information obtained, Sharath will rejoin the junior selection committee and take Tilak Naidu’s post as its chairman. Two senior selectors, one junior selector, and four selectors for the national women’s committee have been appointed as a result of the recent interviews conducted by the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), which is composed of Ashok Malhotra and Jatin Paranjpe.
