Matthew Forde is expected to slot in alongside the specialist bowlers and will provide an additional seam-bowling option lower down the order. Alzarri Joseph, Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph form a strong pace unit, with the trio offering different qualities and the ability to generate pace and movement. Gudakesh Motie is likely to be the specialist spinner and could play an important role as the game progresses, particularly if the surface begins to offer some grip.
Overall, the combination gives West Indies four frontline pace options alongside Motie's left-arm spin, while Forde and Chase provide further flexibility. The attack should have enough variety to adapt to the conditions at Thiruvananthapuram.
West Indies predicted playing XI for 1st ODI vs India:
John Campbell, Shai Hope (c & wk), Keacy Carty, Sherfane Rutherford, Roston Chase, Justin Greaves, Matthew Forde, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph.
