The squad selection meeting of the India Cricket team for the tour of West India that was to be held on Friday has been postponed. The new date has not been announced and India will be playing 3 T20Is, 3 ODIs and 3 Test against the West Indies. The matches will be held in the United States and West India between 3rd of August and 3rd of September. The senior selection committee meeting that was slated to be held on Friday to pick India squads for the full tour of West Indies will be held on a later date, India Today can confirm. India will play 3 T20Is, as many ODIs and Tests against the West Indies in the United States and West Indies between August 3 and September 3.

The Indian cricket selection committee, which is headed by MSK Prasad, was scheduled to meet in Mumbai on this Friday. Since tomorrow’s meeting has been postponed, the meeting is like to be held on either Saturday or Sunday.

Every one is looking eagerly on the upcoming squad announcement, taking into the fact that a number of talking points have emerged after India’s World Cup 2019 exit. The India team were ousted from the world cup after their defeat to New Zealand in the semi-final held at Manchester.

It is also heard that Virat Kohli would be rested for India’s tour of the West Indies. Another report suggest that the India skipper will travel to the West Indies for both the ODI series and the Test matches. Kohli just arrived India from London along with his partner and Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma on Thursday.

Kohli is entirely disappointed with India’s semi-final defeat in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup and it is learned that he wants to start the process of turning things around for the Indian team during the tour of the West Indies.

Kohli has therefore informed the selectors he will be traveling to the West Indies for the shorter formats matches and the Test matches.

Another center of attraction is related to the future of MS Dhoni’s and there are speculations that the senior wicket keeper-batsman will not travel to the West Indies. Several former cricketers, including Sachin Tendulkar, has stressed that Dhoni should be able to take a call by his own.

The Supreme Court appointed Committee of Administrators have confirmed that the committee meeting for selecting the senior Indian team will be convened by the chief selector and not by the BCCI secretary.

For overseas tours, the meetings are usually convened by the administrative manager.
