Virat Kohli will lead the Indian squads for the Test, ODI and T20I series in West Indies, starting on August 3, the Board of Control For Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Sunday.

Rishabh Pant has been selected as the first-choice wicket-keeper in the limited-over squads after MS Dhoni made himself unavailable for the tour, NDTV Sports reported. India’s premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been rested from the ODI and T20I legs of the tour, but has been included in the Test squad, with the likes of Khaleel Ahmed and Navdeep Saini included in the limited-over squads.

Among the batsmen, Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer have been included in the side after their brilliant run for India A, while Shikhar Dhawan has made a return to the ODI and T20 teams after suffering an injury during the just concluded World Cup.

Also, Wriddhiman Saha, Ravichandran Ashwin, Hanuma Vihari and Umesh Yadav have made a return to the Test squad.
