Prasidh managed only five overs in the Guwahati ODI, handing out 45 runs and dismissing keeper Kecy Carty in the fifth over. He retired at the 31‑over mark. Reports indicate he is already home in Bengaluru and may pose a challenge for the Ranji Trophy opener kicking off on 11 October.
While the West Indies compiled 405 for 7 across 50 overs, India accelerated past the target in just 43.3 overs on a pitch that has attracted widespread criticism.
Kamboj has also been dropped from the ongoing India A vs Australia A four‑day match in Puducherry to travel to New Chandigarh. He claimed three wickets in the first India A vs Australia A four‑dayer and another three in the second game, though he was left out after bowling limited duration in Australia A’s second innings.
Unchosen for ODI duty, Kamboj holds a solid 22.41 average from 35 List A encounters, boasting 56 wickets. His sole Test cap came during India’s recent tour of England.
A congested competition calendar forces rotation among India’s leading personalities; examples include captain Jasprit Bumrah, presently engaged in the Japanese Asian Games. For the upcoming India‑West Indies series, aside from Kamboj, the lineup features Mohammed Siraj, Auqib Nabi and Gurnoor Brar.
