Ishant Sharma and Vinay Kumar have been dropped from the Indian squad for the 3-match ODI series against West Indies starting from 21st November.

Medium pacer Mohit Sharma, who has been impressive for Haryana in the Ranji Trophy, and has also made a mark for India and CSK in the past, has been included in the squad.

24-year-old Mumbai medium-pacer Dhawal Kulkarni has also been selected on the back of some impressive performances for India A recently.

The rest of the side is unchanged, with MS Dhoni at the helm. Ravindra Jadeja, who was rested due to a shoulder strain from the ongoing Test series against West Indies, has been retained in the squad.

The 3-match series starts in Kochi on 21st November, followed by ODIs in Visakhapatnam (24th November) and Kanpur (27th November).

India go to South Africa after the series, with the first ODI scheduled in Johannesburg on 5th December.
