Cricket: Windies announce T20 sqaud

West Indies announced a squad for their one-off Twenty20 against Pakistan.

The West Indies announced a squad for their one-off Twenty20 against Pakistan in St Lucia on April 21, recalling Lendl Simmons and Marlon Samuels after the latter served a two-year ban for his alleged involvement with illegal bookmakers, and featuring four uncapped players.

Darren Sammy was retained as captain with Devendra Bishoo and Andre Russell, two young players who featured in the World Cup, both included.


Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard were not eligible for selection because they did not participate in the local Twenty20 tournament held last year. There was no place for Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Sulieman Benn.
