West Indies have announced their 13-player squad, including an uncapped spinner for the second and final Test against India in Trinidad, according to ICC.

"Proposal Came From...": India Batting Coach On Shubman Gill Playing No. 3 In 1st Test

Shubman Gill has requisite attributes to bat at the crucial number three slot in Indian Test line-up as he can shift gears as per requirement and shouldn't be judged on the basis of one failure, batting coach Vikram Rathour said on Sunday. India won the first Test against the West Indies by an innings and 141 runs but Gill's first game as No. 3, replacing the dogged Cheteshwar Pujara, didn't start well. He was out for only 6 in India's only innings as skipper Rohit Sharma and debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal struck hundreds and Virat Kohli contributed 76.

PV Sindhu, Kidambi Srikanth Restart Quest For 1st Title Of Season In Pre-Olympic Year

PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth will look for consistency in their quest for the season's maiden title when they begin their campaign at the Korea Open, which lost a bit of sheen following the withdrawal of some key players, including Lakshya Sen. A title has eluded Sindhu this year with more than half the season already over. She has not been able to string together a series of wins in a week after returning from a five-month long injury lay-off following a stress fracture on her ankle. The two-time Olympic medallist had reached the final of the Madrid Spain Masters, her best finish this season. She showed sparks when she reached the semifinals of Canada Open but made a quarterfinal exit in the next event after going down to China's Gao Fang Jie in the US Open.

"Virat Kohli Was The Captain": Yuzvendra Chahal On 'Strange' T20 World Cup 2021 Snub

The absence of Yuzvendra Chahal from India's T20 World Cup 2021 squad emerged as a big talking point in the Indian cricketing spectrum, with many former cricketers and fans criticising the selection committee over the decision. Chahal, who has been a mainstay in India's white-ball team for a long period of time, couldn't wrap his head around the fact that he was snubbed for the showpiece event, especially considering the team was being led by Virat Kohli, who was also his captain at Royal Challengers Bangalore at that time.

For Nepal, skipper Rohit Paudel was the top-scorer as he made 65 off 85 balls, while Gulsan Jha made a 30-ball 38 to give some momentum to the innings at the R Premadasa Stadium.

"Like Watching Virat Kohli" - When Carlos Alcaraz Was Compared To The Cricket Great

"Selectors And Board Should Be Asking Questions": Sunil Gavaskar Unhappy Over India's WTC Final Strategy

India's wait for an ICC title got extended when they lost the World Test Championship Final against Australia by 209 runs in June. At The Oval in London, Australia were boosted by centuries from Steve Smith and Travis Head while their bowlers were up to the task too. Barring a 89 from Ajinkya Rahane in the first innings and Mohammed Siraj's bowling, there was not much to write home about from the Indian side. Former India captain and batting legend Sunil Gavaskar was the BCCI and the team selectors to ask questions on the performance.
