Squad: Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Alick Athanaze, Shai Hope (c/wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Keacy Carty, Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph, Yannic Cariah, Gudakesh Motie, Jayden Seales
India
India’s decision to rest Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli backfired in the second ODI as their batting unit collapsed from 90/0. Ishan Kishan (55) and Shardul Thakur (3/42) were star performers for India.
The visitors should bring both Rohit and Kohli back for the series deciding game. Axar Patel could keep his spot considering the pitch is likely to be spin-friendly.
Squad: Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan (wk), Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar
