**New Delhi**: In a surprising move, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to field a “C” team for the upcoming two-test series against West Indies. This decision signals a commitment to giving opportunities to younger players, with experienced veterans like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah expected to be rested.

The series, which is expected to take place later this year, will be captained by veteran KL Rahul. Rahul has previously led India in three matches, winning two. Rishabh Pant is likely to be named vice-captain.

This series marks a significant departure from the usual selection process, with established players making way for emerging talent. Young stars like Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, and Shreyas Iyer are set to receive their chance to shine at the international level.

Further bolstering the squad are several players who have impressed at the domestic level, including Abhimanyu Easwaran, who could replace Rohit Sharma, and Prasidh Krishna, who may step in for Bumrah.

While the BCCI has not officially announced the squad yet, speculation is rife about the potential line-up. Fans are eagerly awaiting the team announcement and the exciting opportunity for young talent to prove their mettle on the international stage.
