Two days after their World Twenty20 campaign ended, the Indian team has landed in Jamaica for their next assignment, a four-ODI series against West Indies.
India have been in great form in one-dayers over the past ten months, losing only three dead matches from 18 games. West Indies performed strongly in the World Twenty20 after a forgettable show against England in the Tests and one-dayers.
"I think it's going to be a competitive cricket (series) and we are looking forward to it," MS Dhoni said. " West Indies is playing good cricket at the moment. They are having a very good World Twenty20 tournament, but in the 50 overs, you have time to settle down."
India are missing four first-team players on the tour - Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan, Virender Sehwag and Suresh Raina - but coach Gary Kirsten said this was a chance for the youngsters to shine. "You're always going to miss them because they are great players, but it's a great opportunity for a tour of this nature for young players to show what they're made of.
