The West Indies cricket team has unveiled their squad for the much-anticipated two-test tour of India. In a strategic move to bolster their batting lineup, the team has recalled batters Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Alick Athanaze. However, former captain Kraigg Brathwaite was notably left out of the 15-man squad.
Accompanied by a maiden test call-up for left-arm spinner Khary Pierre, the selections are aimed at fortifying the team's defense against the anticipated trial by spin in Indian conditions. Head coach Daren Sammy emphasized that Chanderpaul's return is designed to rejuvenate the team's top order, while Athanaze's inclusion is expected to harness his strengths against spin bowling.
Vice captain Jomel Warrican will lead the spin attack, as fellow left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie rests ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup. Set to face India in Ahmedabad and Delhi, Sammy asserted that the team is well-prepared to tackle the subcontinent's challenges.
