Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Alick Athanaze are back as Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced a 15-member touring squad for the two-Test series against India, with matches in Ahmedabad and Delhi from October 2-14.

The series forms part of the ICC World Test Championship and will be the first away fixture for the Test team in the new cycle and the first Test tour of India since 2018.

Tagenarine Chanderpaul, whose father Shivnarine scored centuries in three of the five Test matches on a tour of India in 2002, and rookie left-arm spinner Alick Athanaze are three changes from the squad which recently faced Australia.

Chanderpaul and Athanaze have been included to bolster the top order batting, while Pierre has been included as the second specialist spinner in the squad after strong performances in the West Indies Championship, where he claimed a chart-topping 41 wickets at an average of 13.56, Cricket West Indies informed in a release on Tuesday.
