Deivarayan Muthu on the relatively unknown West Indies players to watch out for in the ODI series against India.

Some of those innings-building skills were also briefly on display in Pakistan and then at home against Bangladesh. In a middle order that includes big-hitters Pooran, Powell, Holder and perhaps King, Carty could be one to hold the innings together, an area where West Indies have struggled in the recent past. The series against India is now Carty's chance to find some overdue international success. He originally started as a middle-order batter for Jamaica, but Johan Botha, the coach of Amazon Warriors at the time, transformed him into a hard-hitting opener in CPL 2019. Time may be running out for him but he can make a mark in this series. Hosein also brings with him some IPL experience, having been a net bowler for Kolkata Knight Riders. Strong performances against India usually pique the interest of IPL scouts, and this could well be histime to shineagain. That skill will be put to the test against India.
