Personally, I don't expect the Test side to India to change much from the current Test squad, and I don't think the ODI squad to India will change much from the ODI squad that played against Bangladesh....
Going by past experience, if the WI selectors are going to bring in anyone new, it will be from the players who will be playing against the Bangladesh A side. Narine, Kantasingh, Holder, lesporis and Hughes can only really hope that when those players are called away for the WI A team, that they will be in contention for a place against the Bangla A side.
Afro, don't get me wrong - I like Narine. But I don't think the WI selectors are going to let him jump over the A team....
MATHURIN, NKRUMA BONNER AND DERWIN CHRISTIAN have never played a single match for the A-team, and yet magically they turned up on the pitch when we beat England the other day?!!..and CARLOS BRATHWAITE hasn't played an A-game either, so your notion doesn't hold weight Mike!!

And lastly sometimes there's just special cases that just cannot be ignored, we're not just raving about the man because of what he's done in this One day competition, this form is simply a CONTINUATION of his form from the champions league where he dazzled INTERNATIONAL CLASS BATSMEN like Shane Watson, Dhoni, Vijay and Raina amoungst others, the champions league is a much tougher examination than the A-team games imo and he passed with flying colours,
If he wasn't going to India he'd be in that A-team without a doubt, the selectors aren't that stupid, and only a mad man wouldn't take advantage of this opportunity, we may just have a sensation on our hands, whats the point in wrapping him up in cotten whool? especially as he's already used to the Indian tracks now? it wouldn't make sense.
