Nitish Kumar Reddy: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday announced Shubman Gill-led 15-member squad for the two home Tests against the West Indies, starting from October 2, with Devdutt Padikkal making a return and senior all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja named vice captain.
Padikkal's last appearance in Tests came in the first game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in November 2024, where he registered scores of 0 and 25 in two innings. Earlier this month, the left-hander scored a century in the first unofficial Test against Australia A in Lucknow.
Shubman Gill, who took over the red-ball captaincy from Rohit Sharma after the latter retired from the format, will lead the side, with Ravindra Jadeja as his deputy.
