The first Test of the series will be played at Windsor Park Roseau Dominica. An interesting factor about Dominica is that the particular venue is hosting an international red-ball game after six long years. Team Preview (India): Led by Rohit Sharma the Men in Blue have been the dominant side in both WTC cycles played so far. But despite being a team to beat India haven't fired when they needed losing the finals to New Zealand (2019-21) and Australia (2021-23). And in pursuit of an ICC title the Men in Blue are regrouping with a mixture of young and experienced squad. It is confirmed by captain Rohit Sharma that Yashasvi Jaiswal will make his Test debut and will open the batting alongside him. Shubman Gill will bat down at number three the place opened after management dropped veteran Cheteshwar Pujara for the tour. Virat Kohli Ajinkya Rahane Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin will complete the middle and lower order. It will be interesting to see who the team management will opt for the glove work. So the fight will be between Srikar Bharat and Mumbai Indians' Ishan Kishan for that most-important spot in the XI. On the pace bowling front it will be led by the fiery Mohammed Siraj. Giving him the company it is expected to be the duo of Jaydev Unadkat and Shardul Thakur. But don't be surprised if Mukesh Kumar gets an opportunity to make an India debut. India will hope for a winning start but it won't be easy in the Caribbean Islands. India featured only once in Dominica and it was back in 2011 when the venue made its debut in Test match cricket. Both these sides played out a draw when they met back in 2011. Team Preview (West Indies): West Indies are under their new head coach Daren Sammy who is all set to make his Test coaching debut. The two-time ICC T20 World Cup-winning captain is coming off a horrible experience in the ICC World Cup 2023 Qualifiers as the Men in Maroon failed to make it to the main event later in the year in India. Focusing on the purest format of the game the records aren't pleasing. The Kraigg Brathwaite-led side has been pretty poor in the previous two championship cycles. West Indies would want to start the third WTC cycle well but they are facing the two-time runners-up of WTC India which is not going to be an easy task. West Indies team management has named a 13-man squad for the first Test. A few new faces have been added to the team. As usual Brathwaite is leading the side. The impressive Tagenarine Chanderpaul will accompany his skipper up at the top with the bat. Alick Athanaze had a wonderful domestic season and has been in the pick of the things in the West Indies-A set-up as well as toured South Africa in the previous WTC cycle. Kirk McKenzie has got his maiden call-up to the camp. The rest of the side is pretty similar comprising experienced Jason Holder Jermaine Blackwood Alzarri Joseph Shannon Gabriel Kemar Roach Raymon Reifer and Joshua Da Silva as expected will don the gloves. Rahkeem Cornwall an all-arounder who last played in a Test in November 2021 as well as left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican who was a member of the team that toured Zimbabwe but was absent from the most recent tour of South Africa in February have been called back. Gudakesh Motie was unavailable for the selection as he is undergoing rehabilitation from injury. Kyle Mayers is rested for the first Test after complaining about some niggles in the recently concluded ICC World Cup Qualifiers.
