West Indies Squad for England T20 Series 2024 | CWI Makes Key Squad Changes for Decisive Matches

Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced critical adjustments to the T20I squad as they prepare for the final, decisive phase of the "Rivalry" series against England. The series, which shifts to Saint Lucia, will feature notable roster changes to bolster the team's performance.

Andre Russell, a veteran all-rounder, is ruled out due to a left ankle sprain suffered in the opening T20I at Kensington Oval, Barbados. Shamar Springer, who recently played two T20Is against Sri Lanka, will replace him, adding fresh energy to the squad.

Additionally, fast bowler Alzarri Joseph, available after completing a two-match suspension, will join the Saint Lucia leg, taking over for Shamar Joseph. CWI’s updated lineup reflects a blend of youth and experience as the team approaches this crucial stretch of the series.

Rovman Powell (Captain) Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Shimron Hetmyer, Terrance Hinds, Shai Hope, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Gudakesh Motie, Nicholas Pooran, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Shamar Springer

Remaining Series Matches:

  • 3rd T20I: November 14, 2024 – Daren Sammy Stadium, Saint Lucia
  • 4th T20I: November 16, 2024 – Daren Sammy Stadium, Saint Lucia
