Windies all-rounder Paul was ruled out of injury in the first Test at Antigua, which India won by 318 runs – due to an ankle injury but will be fit to feature at Sabina Park on Friday.
However, Gayle – who had performed a retirement U-turn earlier this year and insisted he wanted to play in the series against India – has not made the 13-man squad.
The Windies were bowled out for 100 in their second innings in the first Test, Kemar Roach (38) their top scorer.
