Brook hails 'exceptional' Bethell as England rout West Indies
30 May 25
The Cricket West Indies (CWI) Senior Men’s Selection Panel today announced the One-Day International (ODI) and T20 International (T20I) squads for the upcoming series against South Africa.
Shai Hope will captain with allrounder Rovman Powell appointed as the new vice-captain. In the T20Is, captain Rovman Powell will be supported by a new vice-captain in batting allrounder Kyle Mayers.
Fast bowler Shannon Gabriel has earned a recall to the ODI. He last played ODIs for the West Indies at the ICC Cricket World Cup in July 2019.
“We have had some injuries to our fast-bowling pool so therefore we see Gabriel as an ideal fit heading into South Africa, and the surfaces we expect to play on. It is felt that we need someone to get those early wickets and he is the kind of bowler that can do that. Judging from his performances in the CG United Super50 Cup, he is potentially a wicket-taking option up front,” Lead Selector the Most Hon. Dr Desmond Haynes said.
