The Indian squad for the upcoming home series against the West Indies was announced on Thursday and the exclusion of former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni left the fans infuriated. MS Dhoni has been on a sabbatical since the conclusion of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 which was played in England. The legendary wicket-keeper was out of the team for the series against South Africa and Bangladesh and had made himself unavailable till November.
