India name squad for tour of West Indies - dillinger10 - 05-23-2016
India Squad:
Virat Kohli ©, Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Amit Mishra, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Stuart Binny.
Binny in the squad is a bit of a head scratcher. Kohli's numbers in the Caribbean are surprisingly poor: an average of 27.88 in 9 innings.
Have the dates for the four Tests been announced yet?
Edit: I just read the other thread and venues have been chosen but no dates as of yet.

Remember Folks, India wanna manipulate these dates !
currently they need ICC 6 points to # 1 Test rank
BUT ....we gotta watch England pile up points against Lanka
Jonny Bairstow just achieved a career high ranking !

That's a strong team

How much, if at all, do you think the ongoing CPL will affect ticket sales for the Test matches?
Re: India name squad for tour of West Indies - ketchim - 05-24-2016
Tri Series is up first in one week.
Re: India name squad for tour of West Indies - dillinger10 - 05-24-2016
Between the tri-series, CPL and Test matches, that is a lot of tickets to be sold in a short space of time. It is a shame that the Test series could not have been scheduled after the CPL.
