ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced its 15-member touring squad for the October 2nd-14th, two-test series against India, with matches in Ahmedabad and Delhi. The series forms part of the ICC World Test Championship and will be the first away fixture for the test team in the new cycle and the first test tour of India since 2018.
There are three changes from the squad which recently faced Australia, with the inclusions of Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Alick Athanaze, along with a maiden test call-up for left arm spinner Khary Pierre.
Chanderpaul and Athanaze have been included to bolster the top order batting, while Pierre has been included as the second specialist spinner in the squad after strong performances in the West Indies Championship, where he claimed a chart-topping 41 wickets at an average of 13.56.
The selection group has opted to rest Gudakesh Motie for this red-ball series, given the demands of the upcoming limited-overs schedule, the highlight being the ICC T20 World Cup in February and March of next year.
