He's back!
No, not Chris Gayle. But after a nearly 3 year absence from international cricket, Tino Best makes his return. Well I'm excited at least. He has always been a fun player.
Anyway, here is the rest of the squad...
Unfortunately for the Windies, Rampaul, Barath and Simmons weren't available due to illness/injuries. While Fidel Edwards isn't playing ODIs, to better manage him for the Tests.
With the injuries to key batsmen, they have responded by bringing in 23 year old Johnson Charles with the astounding average of 20. But hey, it worked for Australia and Peter Forrest.
So I would expect the Windies to line up as...
Kieran Powell
Dwayne Bravo
Darren Bravo
Marlon Samuels
Kieron Pollard
Denesh Ramdin
Andre Russell
Darren Sammy
Sunil Narine
Devendra Bishoo
Kemar Roach
They might go with an extra batsman over a bowler especially considering they have 3 part time bowlers, but they are still batting reasonably deep with Russell, Sammy and Narine. Their strength is definitely the spinners, so hopefully they play both Narine and Bishoo as they could really cause the Australians some problems.
