BARBUDA
\nWest Indies has announced 15 member One-day cricket squad, Captain Nicholas Pooran against Netherland and Pakistan for upcoming event on Teusday.
\nThe tour will mark the beginning of Nicholas Pooran\u2019s reign as white ball captain.
\nWest Indies will tour Netherlands and Pakistan to play three-match ODI series against the two sides respectively. Their series against Netherlands will be the first ever between the two sides. The two series will be a part of the ICC Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup Super League.
\nThe assignments will also be a big chance for Pooran to stamp his authority after the retirement of his predecessor Kieron Pollard.
\nThree new faces get a chance in the squad \u2013 fast bowlers Jayden Seales and Shermon Lewis, as well as batter Keacy Carty. Carty becomes the first player from St. Maarten to be selected for the West Indies Men\u2019s side.
\nOn Carty\u2019s inclusion, lead selector Desmond Haynes said: \u201cWe were impressed with Carty and the way he goes about his innings, we saw several glimpses of his ability the way he played against England earlier this year for the CWI President\u2019s XI. We hope that giving him this opportunity he will recognize the importance of representing West Indies.
\n\u201cWe also have a very good group of young fast bowlers who have demonstrated their ability and we want to use these two tours to give them opportunities in the 50-over format.\u201d
\nHaynes was also full of praise for Seales and Lewis, stating that the Windies were building a side with the future in mind, \u201cWe also have a very good group of young fast bowlers who have demonstrated their ability and we want to use these two tours to give them opportunities in the 50-over format. We have a week in The Netherlands and another week in Pakistan and this should provide them with quality opposition to bowl against as we build towards the Cricket World Cup in 2023.
\n\u201c(Anderson) Phillip has been around for some time, and we know what he can offer, Seales has been very good in Test cricket and Lewis is making a return to the West Indies set-up following some good performances.\u201d
\nAll-rounder Jason Holder has been rested from the two tours to manage his workload, while Evin Lewis also misses out as he was unable to meet the CWI\u2019s fitness criteria.
\nWest Indies squad for ODI series against Netherlands and Pakistan: Nicholas Pooran (C), Shai Hope (VC), Nkrumah Bonner, Shamarh Brooks, Keacy Carty, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Shermon Lewis, Kyle Mayers, Anderson Phillip, Rovman Powell, Jayden Seales, Romario Shepherd, Hayden Walsh Jr.
