NEWS Tri-Nation Tournament in Sri Lanka> Kumble set to play against Windies 05th Aug 2005  22.59 IST By Agencies   Leg-spinner Anil Kumble is set to make his return to the Indian ODI squad for the final league game against the West Indies in the Tri-series at the Premadasa stadium in Colombo on Sunday. Also back will be all-rounder J P Yadav. Coach Greg Chappell indicated today that he wanted to give all members of the squad a chance to show their mettle. He also hinted that Kumble, so far untried in the competition, could find a place in the final eleven. "I want to give everyone who is here a chance to play, so hopefully J P (Yadav) will be seen against the West Indies," Chappell said after a gruelling practice session in Colombo. India has lost twice to Sri Lanka and are still not sure of their place in the final but Chappell is sticking to his policy of experimenting to find the right combination for the side, which is still struggling to find its form. "I want to have a bigger pool of players. You never know when illness can play a part or somebody is injured. You need to have options," the former Australian captain said.
