Suresh Raina will be vice-captain of the squad, which is missing some of India's biggest stars, including World Cup-winning captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, top batsman Sachin Tendulkar and bowler Zaheer Khan, who are being rested after a grueling run of tournaments and series.
All three will be available for the West Indies Test series, which follows the ODIs, the BCCI said on its website. India will play five ODIs against the West Indies from June 6 to June 16, followed by three Test matches on June 20, June 28 and July 6.
