CWI announces West Indies Test Squad for Home Series against Bangladesh
ST JOHN’S, Antigua- Cricket West Indies (CWI) is excited to unveil the West Indies Test squad for the highly anticipated two-match series against Bangladesh. This home series, scheduled from 22 November to 4 December 2024, in Antigua and Jamaica, marks a crucial chapter as the team looks to capitalize on home conditions and finish the World Test Championship on a high note.
Led by Kraigg Brathwaite, the squad features an exciting mix of seasoned, in-form players and fresh talent. The in-form Justin Greaves is in the squad following a sensational run in the CG United Super50 Cup, where he smashed three centuries. His recent performances have been a highlight of the domestic season and underscores how pivotal domestic platforms are for the next generation of talent. Kevin Sinclair also returns to the squad as a valuable spin bowling option, while Jason Holder will miss the series as he continues rehabilitation for a shoulder injury.
West Indies fans throughout the region can catch the action on ESPN Caribbean, while in Bangladesh, the Toffee digital platform will feature the matches.
Tickets for the month-long series against Bangladesh are available online at www.tickets.windies.com.
Squad: Kraigg Brathwaite (Captain), Joshua Da Silva (Vice-Captain), Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Justin Greaves, Kavem Hodge, Tevin Imlach, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Mikyle Louis, Anderson Phillip, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Kevin Sinclair and Jomel Warrican.
Team Management: Head Coach: Andre Coley, Team Manager: Rawl Lewis, Assistant Coach (Batting): Jimmy Adams, Assistant Coach (Bowling): James Franklyn, Assistant Coach (Fielding/Wicket-Keeping): Jamal Smith, Physiotherapist: Dr. Denis Byam, Strength & Conditioning Coach: Ronald Rogers, Masseuse: Darc Browne, Team Analyst: Avenesh Seetaram and Media Officer: Jerome Foster.
Meanwhile, ahead of the Test series, Test Captain Kraigg Brathwaite will lead a CWI Select XI, 13-man squad, for the two-day warm-up match against Bangladesh, scheduled for 17 and 18 November at the CWI-owned Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua. This warm-up match holds significant importance in preparation for the main Test series. It offers a valuable opportunity for fringe players to showcase their skills in a competitive setting, while also providing Test players with an opportunity to fine-tune their form.
Head Coach Andre Coley remarked on the upcoming series: “We expect the series against Bangladesh to be a competitive one between two emerging squads. The build up to the series, through the two-day warm-up match and training camp will provide us with the best possible preparation, as they will afford opportunities for both experienced and emerging players to fine-tune their skills ahead of the Test series.”
