Pant to Miss India's Home Series Against West Indies

Ravindra Jadeja replaces injured Rishabh Pant as vice-captain for two-match Test series; Jadeja scored 516 runs in the recent England series, selectors said.

  • On September 25, 2025 the BCCI senior men’s selection committee named a 15-member Test squad and appointed Ravindra Jadeja vice-captain for the two-match West Indies Test series starting October 2 in Ahmedabad.
  • With Pant sidelined by injury, Rishabh Pant remains unavailable after fracturing his foot during the England series, and selectors said they hope he will recover for the South Africa Tests.
  • Shubman Gill will captain the side, Devdutt Padikkal was recalled to replace Karun Nair, and Jasprit Bumrah was included with Ajit Agarkar saying `Bumrah is ready and keen to play both Tests against West Indies`.
  • Dhruv Jurel will keep wickets with N. Jagadeesan as backup, while Karun Nair was omitted after England struggles prompting Devdutt Padikkal's recall.
  • Looking ahead to the WTC cycle, the series acts as a tune-up before South Africa, with Jadeja's England form supporting his leadership role.
