No Hetmyer, Lewis, Holder in West Indies T20I squad

Obed McCoy, a left-arm fast bowler, has been recalled to the West Indies side for the upcoming T20I series versus Bangladesh. McCoy played a vital role in the Rajasthan Royals' journey to the IPL final. Shamarh Brooks, Alzarri Joseph, Keemo Paul, and Devon Thomas have all returned, replacing Fabian Allen, Roston Chase, and Sheldon Cottrell. Rovman Powell has also been upgraded to T20I vice-captaincy by the West Indies selection committee.

Shimron Hetmyer, Evin Lewis, Jason Holder, and Andre Russell are notable absentees not named in the 14 men squad for Bangladesh T20I

West Indies T20I Squad: Nicholas Pooran (Captain), Rovman Powell (Vice-Captain), Shamarh Brooks, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Obed McCoy, Keemo Paul, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Devon Thomas, Hayden Walsh Jr. Reserve: Dominic Drakes

"We know Rovman's history. He has captained the West Indies before and is also the captain of his CPL franchise," chief selector Desmond Haynes said. "Our role is to look at future leaders as well and we have identified a few, including him, who we will be putting through programmes to ensure we keep them involved in that aspect of cricket. 

"Thomas is a very versatile cricketer, who has been knocking on the door in all formats. He has been doing well in franchise cricket and with that level of talent, we must ensure we keep him interested. He brings a lot to the table and is basically a four-dimensional player, he can bat, bowl, he is brilliant in the field, and he can keep wicket as well.

"McCoy has done exceptionally well in the IPL and enjoyed a successful stint in England as well, so we are confident that he is back to his best in terms of playing and fitness," Haynes added.

"Generally, we have to start looking at the bigger picture of getting these players playing together as often as possible in preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup later in the year. We need to ensure we are fielding a very strong side for that tournament," Haynes said
