India team regulars Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan, Virender Sehwag and Suresh Raina were rested either due to injuries or fatigue, the latter on account of busy season that included the Indian Premier League. In their place, Ashish Nehra, Abhishek Nayar, R. P. Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Subramaniam Badrinath and Murali Vijay were included in the squad.[5] The West Indies squad was announced on 20 June for the first two ODIs. Darren Bravo and Narsingh Deonarine were included in the squad owing to their strong performances in the domestic circuit. All-rounder David Bernard was included as a replacement for an injured Fidel Edwards.[3] The same squad was retained for the final two games.[4]
