Mayank, Siraj earn maiden call-ups
Mayank Agarwal and Mohammad Siraj were given their maiden Test call-up for the two-match Test series against Windies. Both the players have performed brilliantly for India A and their respective domestic sides. The selectors also decided to leave out Dinesh Karthik and Karun Nair from the squad which played the Test series in England while Jasprit Bumrah and Ishant Sharma were rested for the short series.
Virat Kohli names the 12 men squad (shortlisted). Who will be dropped?

Prithvi Shaw scores a century on Test debut
With Murli Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan been left out from the squad for the two-Test matches against Windies, the 18-year-old Prithvi Shaw was given his debut Test cap during the first Test in Rajkot. He scored a century on debut. Shaw was also the part of the squad which played the last two Tests in England in early September but didn't get a place in the XI.
A century on debut for 18-year old Prithvi Shaw and a maiden Test five-for for Kuldeep Yadav. In addition, India recorded their highest margin of victory in Tests.
