As far as Playing XI is concerned, the Virat Kohli-led side have made two changes in the squad as Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara have been recalled as a replacement for opener Shikhar Dhawan and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja respectively. For the Caribbean side, Alzarri Joseph has been asked to warm the benches while Devendra Bishoo comes in as a replacement.
