india on Monday

 had their first training session since arriving in the Caribbean ahead of the four-match ODI series.

Determined to regain their lost pride after a disappointing ICC World Twenty20 campaign, Mahendra

Singh Dhoni and his men had light training and net sessions under the watchful eyes of coach Gary

Kirsten.

They play their first two ODIs on Friday and Sunday respectively at Sabina Park against the West Indies.

Meanwhile, five members of the West Indies squad including captain Chris Gayle, returned following

their semi-final defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka in the Twenty20 World Cup in England.

Gayle said he is looking forward to a "good series" against India whom the West Indies beat in the Super

Eight stages of the just-concluded Twenty20 World Cup.

"India is always a good one-day team and it's always going to be difficult going up against India but it

should be a good ODI series," he said.

"We're both evenly matched we're (both) starting form scratch so we'll see what happens," he added.
