India vs West Indies first T20I in Lucknow today
India and the West Indies begin a five-match T20I series on Monday with the first game in Lucknow. The match opens a busy home season for the Indian team.
India will be without Jasprit Bumrah, who was not included in the T20I squad. Arshdeep Singh is expected to lead the pace attack, with Prince Yadav and Mayank Yadav among the other fast-bowling options.
India have made a late change to the squad. Washington Sundar has been withdrawn, with Naman Dhir named as his replacement. Sundar will focus on preparations for the Test series against New Zealand.
Shreyas Iyer is set to lead the side. The predicted Indian XI includes Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh and Prince Yadav.
The West Indies will bank on Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer and Alzarri Joseph. High humidity is expected, which could bring dew into play later in the match.
