Pollard Left Out as West Indies Bat in Series Opener

Port of Spain: West Indies win the toss and have decided to bat. Pollard, interestingly, has been left out, along with Andre Russell.

India also spring a surprise, leaving R Ashwin out for Amit Mishra. Of course, you wouldn't know any of this if you are watching on TV in India. The channel showing this series, for some reason, never shows us the toss when it happens.

Teams

West Indies: Darren Sammy (capt), Lendl Simmons, Marlon Samuels, Darren Bravo, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Dwayne Bravo, Carlton Baugh (wk), Devender Bishoo, Kirk Edwards, Anthony Martin, Ravi Rampaul.

India: Sures Raina (capt), Shikar Dhawan, Parthiv Patel (wk), Virat Kohli, Yusuf Pathan, Rohit Sharma, S Badrinath, Harbhajan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Amit Mishra, Munaf Patel.
