Rohit to captain against Windies, Virat rested

Rohit Sharma was named the captain for the T20I series against Windies starting on November 4 in Kolkata. Virat Kohli has been rested for this series but will return as the captain of the side during the Australia series which starts on November 21 in Brisbane.

Shreyas Iyer and Washington Sundar have also been named in the T20I side after missing the series in England earlier this year.

Young left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed has been rewarded his maiden T20 call after strong performances for India A.

Hardik misses out, but Krunal finds a place

Jharkhand spinner Shahbaz Nadeem has been included in the side for the home series against Windies, while Krunal Pandya has retained his spot in both the squads. Krunal's brother, Hardik Pandya, however, has not been included in either of the squads.

Cricbuzz reported that the all-rounder has not gained full fitness after the back injury he sustained during the Asia Cup last month.

India will play three T20Is against Windies on November 4, 6 and 11. After a ten-day gap, the side will travel to Australia for three T20Is to be played on November 21, 23 and 25.

Dhoni excluded from the tours

MS Dhoni has been excluded from the T20I squad for the two series which India will be playing after the conclusion of the ongoing ODI series against Windies. India will be playing two three-match T20I series subsequently, one against Windies at home and another in Australia. According to ESPN Cricinfo, the former Indian captain has featured in 93 out of 104 T20I games which the side had played since their debut in the format back in 2006.

The exclusion of Dhoni comes with no surprise though, as the 37-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman hasn't been at his best in the format in recent times.

There is also uncertainty whether the southpaw will carry on after the 2019 World Cup. Australia will host the next T20 World Cup in early 2020 and looking at that Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik have been included as the keeper in both the series.
