    West Indies announce squad for England tour

    Cricket West Indies (CWI) named a 14-man Test squad for the proposed tour of England. A list of eleven 11 reserves was also named for the three-match series. Reportedly, Darren Bravo, Shimron Hetmyer and Keemo Paul have refused to travel due to COVID-19 concerns. Notably, the cricket board stated it won't go against the will of players. Here is more.

    New entrants in the squad

    Middle order batsman Nkrumah Bonner and fast bowler Chemar Holder have been added to the squad. The two players earned their maiden Test call-up after performing well in the domestic circuit. Holder was the leading seamer in the West Indies Championship with 36 wickets, while the former racked up 523 runs in seven matches at an average of 58.11.

    CWI selector Roger Harper on the squad

    "More than half of the squad were involved in the victorious Test series against England in the Caribbean last year so they will bring experience, knowledge and belief with them and marry it to the enthusiasm and vitality of the newcomers," selector Roger Harper said.
