Jasprit Bumrah’s injury keeps him out of the squad. Bumrah had been in fine form off late in his latest restricted overs, he took 10 wickets across three games (two ODIs, one T20I) in England last month. Harshal Patel, another consistent player in India's T20I side throughout the past year, is likewise absent because of injury. India has thus picked three healthy bowling experts, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, and Avesh Khan with Deepak Chahar being added as a backup.
Rested for India's restricted overs series against the West Indies, Virat Kohli is back for India as he attempts to get back to shape. KL Rahul is likewise back in the set-up after injury, he has not played for India since February. Unfortunately, Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson, both of whom were involved in the West Indies tour, don't make the crew. The same is the situation for Kuldeep Yadav while Shreyas Iyer, is added as a backup.
