India’s squad, barring the trio that has been diagnosed with COVID-19, began its preparation for the three-ODI series versus West Indies in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

With Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer and Ruturaj Gaikwad having been sidelined along with back-up bowler Navdeep Saini and three support staff members for the first two ODIs, all the other members underwent an additional RT-PCR test ahead of the first scheduled practice session ahead of Sunday’s series-opener.

While the squad led by Rohit Sharma trained at the Narendra Modi Stadium, opener Mayank Agarwal began his mandatory three-day quarantine after joining the squad on Thursday.
