West Indies will play 3 ODIs against India starting on Friday.
In an attempt to recover from a humiliating loss to Bangladesh, West Indies recalled renowned all-rounder Jason Holder for the three-match one-day series against India on Sunday (July 17).
Holder was not included in the team for the 3-match ODI series against Bangladesh in Guyana which the home side lost by 3-0, because the selectors wanted to control his workload as an all-format player.
