India have chosen to bowl first against West Indies in the opening match of their ODI series. Uncapped allrounder Naman Dhir has been handed his international debut for the occasion. Kuldeep Yadav has earned a recall to the playing XI, while pacer Mohammed Siraj has been left out of the side.

A potential no-result scenario would effectively hand India a place in the last four without a ball being bowled.
