Windies Cricket Board Announced Squads for Upcoming Three Match T20I series and Three Match ODI series against Bangladesh.
Rovman Powell Announced as New Vice Captain of Windies T20I Team.
Lead Selectors the Most Honorable Dr Desmond Hayne said: “We know Rovman’s history. He has captained the West Indies before and is also the captain of his CPL franchise. Our role is to look at future leaders as well and we have identified a few, including himself, who we will be putting programmes around to ensure we keep them involved in that aspect of the 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 ICcc T20 World Cup later down in the year. We need to
ensure we are fielding a very strong side for that tournament”
