Cricket West Indies has announced a 15-member squad, led by Roston Chase, for the upcoming two-Test series against India beginning October 2 in Ahmedabad. Tejnarine Chanderpaul, son of legend Shivnarine Chanderpaul, and Alick Athanaze return, while left-arm spinner Khary Piari earns his maiden call-up after claiming 41 wickets at 13.56 in the West Indies Championship.
Craig Brathwaite, Casey Carty, Michael Lewis, and Johan Lan miss out following the team’s 3-0 home defeat against Australia. The second Test will be played in New Delhi from October 10.
