The Cricket West Indies (CWI) has named a strong 18-member squad for the preparatory camp ahead of the two-match Test series against India. Kraigg Brathwaite will continue to captain the side in red-ball cricket.

The camp begins at CCG in Antigua on Friday with the team traveling to Dominica on July 9.

The opening Test begins on July 12 in Dominica, with the second Test scheduled for July 20 in Trinidad’s Queen’s Park Oval.

The Tests will be followed by the three-match ODI series, starting on July 27, and a five-match T20I series beginning on August 3.

CWI Men’s Selection Panel today named the 18-member squad for the preparation camp ahead of the start of the two-match Test series against India in the Caribbean,” CWI tweeted.

Also given that many senior members of the West Indies squad are currently busy in the ICC World Cup Qualifiers in Zimbabwe, there are some notable absentees in this contingent- Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, and Kyle Mayers, along with Kavem Hodge, Alick Athanaze and Jair McAllister.

West Indies Squad:

Kraigg Brathwaite (captain), Alick Athanaze, Jermaine Blackwood, Nkrumah Bonner, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Rahkeem Cornwall, Joshua Da Silva, Shannon Gabriel, Kavem Hodge, Akeem Jordan, Jair McAllister, Kirk McKenzie, Marquino Mindley, Anderson Phillip, Raymon Reifer, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Jomel Warrican.
