ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Two changes were made to the West Indies 15-member squad ahead of the fourth and fifth T20 Internationals (T20Is) against England in T&T.
The Cricket West Indies (CWI) senior men’s selection panel has rested fast bowler Alzarri Joseph in consideration of his workload including the forthcoming all-format tour of Australia in January and February. He is replaced in the squad by fellow pacer Oshane Thomas. Johnson Charles, the experienced batter is also called into the squad to replace Shimron Hetmyer.
West Indies currently lead the Series 2-1 after winning the first two T20Is in Barbados and Grenada. England won the third match in Grenada ahead of the two teams travelling to T&Tfor the finale. The West Indies have a chance to clinch the T20I Series on Tuesday 19 December in the fourth encounter at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy. The final match will be played on the Thursday (December 21) at the same venue. Both matches are day/night games with the first ball bowled at 4pm local time (3pm Jamaica time).
