India will host the West Indies for a three-match ODI series followed by five T20Is from September 27 to October 17, 2026. The eight-match white-ball tour will be played across eight venues, with the first ODI in Thiruvananthapuram and the final T20I in Bengaluru.
Shubman Gill will lead India in the ODIs, with the three-match series forming part of the team's preparation for the 2027 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup. KL Rahul adds experience to the squad, with Dhruv Jurel also included as a wicketkeeping option, while Ravindra Jadeja returns to the 50-over side after his last appearance in January.
India have turned to two uncapped players for the ODI series, with Punjab's Naman Dhir and Jammu and Kashmir paceman Auqib Nabi receiving their first international call-ups.
