The West Indies have announced a 15-man squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against Sri Lanka in Antigua, with the return of fast bowlers Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph providing a significant boost to the regional side’s pace attack.
Shamar Joseph, the exciting Guyanese fast bowler who has quickly become one of the Caribbean’s most promising cricket talents, returns to the squad after missing previous tours due to injury. He is joined by fellow pacer Alzarri Joseph, whose return further strengthens the bowling unit as the West Indies seek success against the visiting Sri Lankans.
Also earning selection is Guyana’s left-handed opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul, who continues to be rewarded for his consistency and resilience at the top of the order.
Leading the squad is captain Roston Chase, with experienced spinner Jomel Warrican serving as vice-captain. The squad blends experience and youth, with seasoned campaigners Kemar Roach and Shai Hope joined by emerging talents such as Amir Jangoo, Brandon King, and Anderson Phillip.
