The Cricket West Indies (CWI) Senior Men's Selection Panel announced the 15-man squad for the five-match T20I series against India on Tuesday, August 1. Notably, the T20I series between the two teams is scheduled to begin on Thursday, August 3 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad.
Notably, the provisional 15-man squad will travel for all five matches, and a 13-man squad will be selected for each game, from which the final playing XI will be selected. Notable recalls include wicketkeeper-batsman Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, and Oshane Thomas. In addition, the selection committee explained that the squad was selected with the 2024 T20 World Cup in mind.
The squad has been chosen with the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup in mind. We are examining various plans in an effort to identify the optimal combinations. 'Windiescricket' quoted Dr. Desmond Haynes, Lead Selector of CWI, as saying, "As we prepare, we're looking to build a unit that we believe can do the job when we host the global event in just over a year."
"We have a number of match-winners in our lineup, and we intend to have the proper preparation beginning on Thursday in Trinidad. We also have other athletes who could be considered in the future; with the Caribbean Premier League beginning next month, others will be considered," he added.
For the five-match series, Rovman Powell will head the team, while Kyle Mayers will serve as his deputy. Regarding the series, the second and third T20Is will be played in Providence, Guyana, while the fifth and final T20I will be played in Lauderhill, Florida.
