Mumbai, June 15 (IBNS): Two young cricketers, Rishav Pant and Kuldeep Yadav, were picked by the national selectors on Thursday to play in the West Indies tour of India, which will begin on June 23.

India will play five ODIs and one T20 International.

The opening batsman Rohit Sharma and bowler Jaspreet Bumrah were rested for the tour, creating opportunities for Pant and Yadav to debut in 50 overs cricket.

Both the players are currently playing for India in the Champions Trophy.

Pant had a brilliant performance for Delhi Daredevils in the tenth edition of Indian Premier League.

The rest of the team remained unchanged, including the administrative staff, though there has been no clarification as to who would be the head coach of the Indian team.

Anil Kumble's tenure as a coach will expire in June 1-18 with the Champions Trophy.

Indian Squad: Virat Kohli (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant, Ajinkya Rahane, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), Yuvraj Singh, Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Mohd. Shami, Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav and Dinesh Karthik.
