Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel - both part of the Rajasthan Royals set-up in IPL 2025 – were last seen in Test match action for India during the five-match Test series against England earlier this year.
A mainstay in the Indian Test side since his debut two years back, Yashasvi scored 411 runs in five matches against England.
He also struck two centuries against England, including a match-winning knock in the final Test at The Oval.
The 23-year-old left-hander has amassed 2209 Test runs in 24 matches at an average of over 50. Yashasvi also has six centuries and 12 fifties in Tests. His first Test ton came against West Indies on his debut at Windsor Park in July 2023.
Meanwhile, Dhruv Jurel, 24, is the senior wicketkeeper batter in the Indian squad in the absence of the injured Rishabh Pant. He has featured in five Tests in his career so far and has also showcased great form in first class cricket this year.
During the India A team’s tour of England earlier in the summer, Jurel piled up 227 runs at an average of 75.66, hitting three half-centuries in four innings.
He also scored a century against Australia A in a multi-day match at home last month and made 56 while captaining the team to victory in the second game of the series.
In terms of the head-to-head, West Indies have the upper hand having won 30 of the 100 Tests between the teams. India have won 23 times while 47 matches have ended in draws.
