Shimron Hetymer has been recalled to the squad after being on the sidelines due to fitness issues. The southpaw last represented the team during the T20 World Cup 2021. It will be a big positive for the Pooran-led side as he with his brutal hitting ability can change the course of the game, which was quite evident in the IPL 2022.

Apart from him, the batting department consists of Brandon King, Kayle Mayers, Shamarah Brooks, Pooran, Powell and keeper batter Devon Thomas. However, one big name that didn’t feature was Evin Lewis. The opener likely has not featured for the fitness test, which is the reason behind his omission.

The all-rounders in the side include Jason Holder, Odean Smith, Romario Shepherd, Keemo Paul and Dominic Drakes whereas Akeal Hosein, and Hayden Walsh Jr will be the frontline spin options for West Indies in the series against India.

The pace department will be bolstered by Alazzari Jospeh and Obed McCoy. Fabian Allen and Sheldon Cottrell also didn’t feature in the squad due to personal reasons and injuries respectively.
