Shai Hope replaces Rajendra Chandrika in the West Indies 14-man side.

Clive Lloyd presents Shai Hope with his cap during the latter's Test debut at Kensington Oval last year.

Barbados opener, Shai Hope, has been included in the West Indies squad for the third Test against India, starting on August 9 in St. Lucia. The 22-year-old replaces Rajendra Chandrika in the side. Hope has played six Tests, scoring 171 runs at an average of 15.54.

India won the first Test by an innings and 92 runs. The second Test at Kingston, Jamaica ended in a draw.
