Touring party

Vijay Hazare was named India's captain for the tour on 24 November 1952 and was included in the selection panel. The touring party was announced on 6 December. Five of the selected players withdrew before the tour began. Probir Sen was replaced by Ebrahim Maka and C. D. Gopinath, who broke his collar bone, by Mysore cricketer L. Adiseth, who also withdrew later. Gopalaswamy Kasturirangan, who had a groin injury, was replaced by N. Kannayiram. Ghulam Ahmed turned down the tour in order to get married on 26 December, three days after the team flew from India.[2] He was initially not replaced as the Board of Control for Cricket in India believed he could be convinced to fly to the Caribbean after his wedding. However, he declined to do so as his wedding had already been postponed once because of a relative's illness. Subsequently, leg-spinner Jayasinghrao Ghorpade was called in.[3]

The final touring party was:[2]
