Shubman Gill named India Test captain, Ravindra Jadeja vice-captain for West Indies series

Shubman Gill will captain India in the two-Test series against West Indies, with Ravindra Jadeja as vice-captain. Rishabh Pant is unavailable due to injury. The series begins October 2 in Ahmedabad as part of the 2025-27 World Test Championship.

Hyderabad: Shubman Gill, who led India to a drawn series in his maiden stint as Test captain in England recently, has been named captain and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja vice-captain for the series against West Indies.

Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has not recovered fully to be named in the squad. Otherwise, the Indian team for the Test series against West Indies sports almost a familiar look with Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Axar Patel as the three spin-bowling all-rounders, as well as Kuldeep Yadav. Nitish Kumar Reddy is the fast-bowling allrounder, with Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna the frontline quicks

India takes on West Indies in the Test series starting in Ahmedabad on October 2 and in Delhi from October 10.

This will also be the second series in the 2025-27 World Test Championship series for India.
Notable absentees from the team that toured England are Karun Nair and Abhimanyu Easwaran who was a ‘spectator’ throughout the tour sitting on the bench.

The Indian team:
Shubman Gill (capt), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, B Sai Sudharsan, Devdutt Padikkal, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravindra Jadeja (vice-capt), Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Kuldeep Yadav, N Jagadeesan (wk)
