IND vs WI LIVE: 3 completely unknown WestIndies cricketers who can trouble India in ODI Series: Follow India WestIndies 1st ODI LIVE
Akeal Hosein
Akeal Hosein has been applying his trade for the side and recently troubled the Bangladesh side in the T20I series. A left-arm spinner known for his relentless accuracy, Akeal Hosein uncharacteristically missed his lengths in the recently concluded white-ball series against Bangladesh, managing just three wickets in three T20Is and three ODIs.
Hosein, however, is still the leading wicket-taker in the ongoing ODI Super League with 35 strikes in 20 games at an average of 23.37 and an economy rate of 4.46.
Hosein also brings with him some IPL experience, having been a net bowler for Kolkata Knight Riders. Strong performances against India usually pique the interest of IPL scouts, and this could well be his time to shine again. And, he can smash sixes lower down the order as well, and might relish the prospect of going up against his idol Ravindra Jadeja.

Jayden Seales
An unknown quantity for the Indians, Jayden Seales was a somewhat a cult hero for the WestIndies side in the Pakistan series as he offered variety. The fast bowler played just one match against Bangladesh, conceding 26 in 3.5 overs, but with Anderson Phillip and Romario Shepherd dropping out of the ODI squad for the India series, he could likely get more game time.
Seales can swing the new ball, bowl hard lengths in the middle overs, and hit his yorkers at the death, skills that were on show during his CPL stint with Trinbago Knight Riders and LPL stint with Jaffna Kings.
