Shimron Hetmyer vs India (Source: AFP Photos)Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Saturday confirmed their squads for the upcoming white-ball tour in India, where West Indies will play three ODIs and five T20Is, starting on September 27.One of the major names who was not in the West Indies squad for the India ODIs was Shimron Hetmyer. The swashbuckling batter, who was in extraordinary form in the CPL 2026 for the Guyana Amazon Warriors, failed to make the cut.With a strike rate of 197.31, Hetmyer made 367 runs in 12 innings in CPL 2026, including a 45-ball 102 in the Qualifier 2. Even during the New Zealand vs West Indies ODIs in July, Hetmyer made a 64-ball 69 and a 28-ball 26 in his two opportunities to shine.CriterionSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableDataSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableInningsSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete Table54SelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableRunsSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete Table1638SelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableAverageSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete Table32.76SelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete TableStrike RateSelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete Table105.26SelectAdd Row AboveAdd Row BelowAdd Column RightAdd Column LeftDelete RowDelete ColumnDelete Table[Shimron Hetmyer ODI Stats, As Of September 2026]So why exactly did the West Indies drop Hetmyer from the squad for India ODIs?
