Vice-captain Rishabh Pant will also be missing the series as he suffered a facture on his left foot during five-match Test series against England.
It was expected that the squad will be out yesterday but due to delay the squad will be announced today by Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee.
The BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar has confirmed that Bumrah will be playing both the Tests against West Indies.
Ajit Agakar says "He has not had a lot of cricket in the last three years."
“Unfortunately, we can’t give everyone 15-20 Test matches. We had expected more from Karun Nair in the England Test.”
"Nitish showed a lot of promise with the way he bowled and his batting under pressure. He is a young kid who is developing and he does give a lot of flexiblity." says Ajit Agarkar
