Latest update of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar
The Indian selection committee is due to meet this week, according to News9, to choose the squad for the forthcoming white-ball series against the West Indies, which will begin on February 6 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Indian white-ball skipper Rohit Sharma, who was forced to withdraw from the South Africa trip owing to a hamstring injury, is poised to return in the three-match ODI series against the West Indies, and vice-captain KL Rahul is slated to bat in the middle order once more.

According to a reliable source, though they have yet to receive Sharma's NCA fitness report, they do know that he has worked extremely hard to improve his fitness and is on track to return to the side. It's crucial for the team to have a captain, and Sharma's presence will instill a great deal of confidence. The source added that they are well equipped to host the West Indies in their bio-secure bubbles in Ahmedabad and Kolkata as soon as they finish their series against England.

After appearing in every game during the South Africa tour, Indian ace bowler Jasprit Bumrah is expected to be rested for the 6-match limited-overs series against the West Indies. Mohammed Shami is also scheduled to return after being rested for the three-match ODI series against South Africa.

The source stated that they must be extremely cautious in monitoring important players' workloads, given the T20 World Cup is rapidly approaching, as is the IPL. For all of them, the next several months will be stressful, and they must plan accordingly. Bumrah bowled the most overs for India in South Africa and will likely be rested, although Shami is expected to return to the team.

Senior bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who looked hopelessly out of touch in the ODI series against South Africa, is expected to be pulled from the squad, according to sources.

After an outstanding all-round performance in the South Africa tour, bowling all-rounders Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar are anticipated to keep their places in the team.

Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja, the senior all-rounders, are still not entirely match fit and are slated to miss the West Indies series. Washington Sundar and Axar Patel, on the other hand, are anticipated to return to the club.

On the other hand, the series' ODI matches will be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, while the T20I matches will be held at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
