West Indies have announced their squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup to be held in Australia. The West Indies have not included many veteran players in their 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup. Indeed, on Wednesday, the West Indies announced their squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup to be held in Australia, but the cricket giants are surprised by the lack of names of many top players in this squad.
The West Indies have not picked the likes of the multi-talented Andre Russell and Sunil Narine in their 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup. However, explosive starter Evin Lewis returned to this team. Evin Lewis was actually part of the West Indies squad at the T20 World Cup 2021, but he was running out of steam ever since. Apart from this, uncapped young players like Yanik Caria and Ramón Reifer also have a place in the team.
Significantly, West Indies will play their first match against Zimbabwe in the T20 World Cup 2022. This match between West Indies and Zimbabwe will be played on October 19. Actually, Scotland and Ireland are the other teams in the West Indies group at the T20 World Cup 2022. The top two teams from Group B will join the Super-12. However, before the T20 World Cup 2022, the Caribbean team will play a series of 2 matches of the T20I series against Australia. This match between the two teams will be played on October 5 and 7.
