Indian cricket team's bench strength will be tested when the Manoj Tiwary-led India A take on West Indies in first of the two warm-up one dayers, which will mark the beginning of Caribbean team's one and half month long tour.

With the Indian ODI team for the first three matches set to be announced on Saturday, it will be a chance for the likes of Tiwary, Kedar Jadhav to grab one slot of reserve batsman that's available in absence of Rohit Sharma, who is still recuperating from a fractured finger and shoulder injury.
