India will face the West Indies later on Friday in the first ODI of the three-game series at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, won the T20I earlier this month, as well as the ODI series against England. While Rohit and wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant will miss the ODIs, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah have rested throughout the tour. In the absence of Rohit, Shikhar Dhawan will lead the Indian team.
Rains are quite common in the Caribbean at this time of year, and there is a slim chance of some showers during the first innings of the game.
