Kohli, Sharma in India Test squad for WI tour

INDIAN batting legend Virat Kohli, 34, has been named in India's Test squad for next month's tour of the West Indies. India will play two Tests in the Caribbean in Dominica (July 12-16) and Trinidad and Tobago (July 20-24). There will also be three ODIs and five T20s.

Trinidad and Tobago will host the third match of the ODI series at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba, on August 1.
