Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar had been rested for the first two ODI matches against West Indies in Guwahati and Vizag. The Men-in-Blue have conceded 322 and 321 runs in the first and second ODI, respectively, and the return of India’s pace duo will add much-needed teeth to the Indian attack.
Shami, who has been dropped from Indian squad, has conceded 81 runs off his 10 overs in the first game and then he went for 59 off his 10 overs in the second ODI in Vizag.
Umesh Yadav, who was called in Indian squad in place of injured Shardul Thakur, has also retained his spot in the team.
There are no other changes in the Indian squad. Virat Kohli’s side will host West Indies in Pune for the third ODI on Saturday (27th October) before they travel to Mumbai for the fourth ODI to be played on Monday (October 29 ). The last match of the five-match ODI series will be played in Thiruvananthapuram on November 1.
India have taken a lead of 1-0 in the ongoing five-match ODI series.
