West Indies have announced their 15-man squads for the Australia white ball series

For their forthcoming T20I and ODI series against Australia, which takes place from February 2 to 13, the West Indies have named 15-man squads. Teddy Bishop and Tevin Imlach, a wicketkeeper-battler, are two players on the ODI team who could make their debuts. Bishop’s impressive performance in the West Indies 50-over competition earned him a call-up. Hayden Walsh Jr., Kavem Hodge, and Justin Greaves all make their injury comebacks in this series. However, the team did not include Yannic Carriah and Shimron Hetmyer, and star players Brandon King and Sherfane Rutherford were not available for selection.

Lead selector Desmond Haynes urged the side to continue with the momentum that they gained in Australia while also preparing for the much-awaited T20 World Cup, which will be played on their home soil in June.
“On the back of a series win against England, we are expecting our ODI team to be very competitive in Australia. We have some new inclusions, who have impressed over a significant period and a couple of returning players who we think will have an impact,” Haynes said as quoted from the ICC.
“For the T20I series, this forms part of our crucial preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup where we are hosts. We are hoping to build on strong overall performances against India and England and to keep improving as we approach the major tournament,” Haynes added.
