the West Indies Selection Panel today named the 14-man squad for the first four matches of the upcoming Tri Nation One-Day International Series. The squad includes two players who are yet to play in ODIs for the West Indies.
These are: off-spinner Ashley Nurse, who was a member of the West Indies team which won the ICC World T20 last month; and fast bowler Shannon Gabriel, who has played 16 Test matches. The Tri Series will feature West Indies, South Africa and Australia and all matches will be day/night.
The series starts in at the Guyana National Stadium (June 3-7), then moves to Warner Park, St Kitts (June 11-15); and concludes at Kensington Oval, Barbados (June 19-26).
The series will also mark the return to West Indies duties for Trinidad & Tobago duo, Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine. Pollard last wore the maroon in ODI in October 2014 when the West Indies abandoned the tour to India while Narine last played ODI’s for the Windies in November 2015 before being reported for a suspected bowling action.
The full squad is expected to assemble in Barbados for a period of encampment before the series bowls off in Guyana.
