Cricket West Indies (CWI) Selection Panel named the 14-member West Indies Men’s squad for the fifth and final T20 International against Australia on Friday night at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in Saint Lucia. The Panel called up Darren Bravo to the squad as skipper Kieron Pollard is unavailable. Nicholas Pooran will continue as stand-in captain in Pollard’s absence. Pollard is recovering from an injury sustained in the recent CG Insurance T20 Series against South Africa in Grenada.
Experienced allrounder Dwayne Bravo has also been recalled to the match-day squad after missing the fourth match on Wednesday night. Heading into the final match West Indies have an unassailable 3-1 lead. The West Indies clinched the series with a six-wicket victory on Monday night, after a superb win by 18 runs last Friday night followed by an impressive 56-run triumph on Saturday night. Australia victory came in the fourth match on Wednesday when they won by four runs.
