The Indian selectors, on Thursday, to pick the squad for the tour of the Carribbean, which gets underway just five days after the end of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy.

Rohit Sharma, who is on a comeback trail from a thigh injury, has scored 181 runs from the first three Champions Trophy matches, at an average of 60.33.
