India Preps for West Indies Test Amid Asia Cup Triumph

The Indian cricket team has wasted no time in shifting their focus to the upcoming Test series against the West Indies, commencing training at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad just two days after their Asia Cup 2025 victory.

While key players like Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel took a break, the rest of the squad hit the ground running in preparation for the first of the two-match Test series, which is part of the World Test Championship.

With limited turnaround time between the Asia Cup and the Test series, the team management will need to carefully manage the players' workloads. The training session saw the batters, including captain Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel, put in long stints in the nets, while the pace bowlers like Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna also bowled extensively.
