West Indies Announced The T20 World Cup Team

West Indies announced the T20 World Cup team, this all-rounder got a place after a year: WI T20 World Cup Squad.

West Indies have announced their 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup. All-rounder Evin Lewis has returned to this squad after a long time while two big names have not found a place in this squad.

Andre Russell and Sunil Narine have not found a place in this squad under the leadership of Nicholas Pooran.

Apart from this, two uncapped players have also got a place in this squad. Yannick Caria and Ramon Reifer have been included in the team for the first time.

On this occasion, West Indies’ lead selector Desmond Haynes said that we have selected a mixed team full of youth and experience.

In this selection process, we were also keeping an eye on the players playing in the CPL who are doing well.

I said at the beginning of my tenure that ‘I would be interested in giving opportunities to the players and I think I have been able to do so consistently.

I believe this is a very good team that we have picked, and it is a team that will compete, given that we have to qualify from Round 1 to Super12.”

I hope that he will continue to work hard in the CPL and other tournaments to replace players in case of injury.

Highlights of this squad.

Johnson Charles has entered this 15-man squad, who played the last T20I in 2016.

Apart from this, the name of Karia, who recently debuted in ODI cricket, is also shocking, who has been given priority in place of Hayden Walls.

Andre Russell and Fabian Allen have not found a place in this squad, who were part of the team in the 2021 World Cup.

West Indies team will play their first match against Zimbabwe on 19 October. Teams from Scotland and Ireland are also included in this group. The top two teams from this group will qualify for Super 12.
