India retain same squad for 2nd Test against Windies



India today named an unchanged Indian squad for the second Test against the West Indies, once again leaving out senior off-spinner Harbhajan Singh from the side.
The selection committee met here earlier today and decided to retain the side which beat the Caribbeans by five wickets in the opening Test, which finished inside four days yesterday with their two spinners R Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha doing exceedingly well.


Ashwin, who will take a break to get married in Chennai on November 13, has been picked for the Test starting a day after his wedding at Kolkata's Eden Gardens stadium.
The 25-year-old off-spinner became only the third cricketer to get the Man of the Match award on debut with his nine-wicket haul, which included six scalps in the second innings.
Ojha too was a success, claiming seven wickets, six of them coming in the first innings.
