Apart from the 21-year old left handed Powell, a student of the Sagicor High Performance Centre, there are no other changes in the squad.
India hold a 1-0 series lead in the three match rubber. The second Test ended in a draw on Saturday.
Powell has played two ODIs for the West Indies — against Bangladesh and India.
“Ramnaresh is having a difficult time and it is best for him to make way and allow a player in better form to contribute to the team,” said Clyde Butts, chairman of the selection committee. (IANS)
