West Indies recalled fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell, batsman Shimron Hetmyer and all-rounder, Roston Chase, to the ODI squad for a 3-match home series against Australia at Kensington Oval, Barbados from July 20-24.
West Indies on Wednesday recalled fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell, batsman Shimron Hetmyer and all-rounder, Roston Chase, to their ODI squad for a three-match home series against Australia. Kyle Mayers and Kevin Sinclair have missed out on selection.
West Indies Recalled Pacer Sheldon Cottrell, Batsman Shimron Hetmyer, And All Rounder Roston Chase
The trio of Sheldon Cottrell, Shimron Hetmyer, and Roston Chase had missed out on selection earlier for the team’s last 50-overs assignment, against Sri Lanka in March, for failing to meet the team management’s fitness standards.
Allrounder Roston Chase and middle-order batter Shimron Hetmyer featured in the Test and T20I legs, respectively, of the just-concluded home series against South Africa, but Sheldon Cottrell, the left-arm quick, has not played for West Indies since November 2020.
Batting allrounder Kyle Mayers, who made his ODI debut against Bangladesh earlier this year, and offspinner Kevin Sinclair, who is uncapped in ODIs, didn’t find a place in the squad, but Anderson Phillip, the fast bowler who made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka in March, kept his place in the side.
The three-match series will be played at Kensington Oval in Barbados on July 20, 22, and 24. It will be Australia’s first tour of the Carribean since a tri-nation series in 2016.
West Indies Last Played The Longer White Ball Format In March
West Indies last played the longer white-ball format in March when they swept Sri Lanka 3-0. Since then they have drawn a two-Test series with Sri Lanka and then lost a five-match home T20 series to South Africa 3-2 earlier this month, both with very different squads.
“This squad is coming off a comprehensive series win against Sri Lanka which should boost their confidence going into what is expected to be a tougher contest against Australia,” said lead selector Roger Harper.
Before the ODI games, the two teams will play a five-match T20 series in St Lucia starting on Saturday.
