Key Questions Answered
Nitish Kumar Reddy had a difficult start to the ODI series opener by conceding 18 runs in his first and the innings' second over against West Indies.
He was shifted from the Asian Games T20 squad to the ODI team to serve as a backup all-rounder because Hardik Pandya re-injured himself and requires two to three months to recover.
Spin all-rounder Naman Dhir made his international debut for India during the first match of the series at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.
