Virat Kohli: Ambati Rayudu's consistency at No 4 will solve middle-order conundrum

India are slated to play around 18 ODIs before the World Cup, including the five-match series against the West Indies.

India announced their 12-man squad for the first ODI against West Indies in Guwahati.

BCCI is unlikely to come under the NADA ambit anytime soon despite the constant push from the International Cricket Council.

A formidable India will hope to get more answers for their unresolved middle-order puzzle when they take on West Indies in 5-match series.

Australia, who had started the series at the third position, are now on 102 points, marginally behind New Zealand on decimal points.

Choosing to bat, skipper Punam Raut led from the front with a 98-run knock from 123 balls as the hosts managed to put 254/8 in 50 overs.

The 28-year-old had rocked the Australian batting line-up after picking up a ten-wicket haul in their second Test of the two-match series.

Abbas followed his 5-33 in the first innings with figures of 5-62 to wreck Australia for 164 after they were set a big 538-run target.

With 18 games left before India's World Cup opener against South Africa on June 5, next year, Khaleel has his priorities in place.
