Rovman Powell to lead as West Indies unveil squad for T20 World Cup

ANTIGUA: Rovman Powell was named the captain as West Indies announced their 15-member squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 which the country will co-host with the United States.

Shamar Joseph, who shot to fame in the Test series against Australia earlier this year, has been included in the squad and is likely to mark his T20I debut.

Shimron Hetmyer made a comeback to the team for the T20 World Cup 2024 while Kyle Mayers and pacer Oshane Thomas were omitted from the squad.

Johnson Charles, Brandon King, and Shai Hope have been picked for top-order positions.

The West Indies squad also includes several hitters and all-rounders including Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Powell, Jason Holder, Sherfane Rutherford, and Romario Shepherd.

In the spin-bowling department, Akeal Hossain and Gudakesh Motie will lead the team in the upcoming T20 World Cup while vice-captain Alzarri Joseph will lead the pace line-up along with Shamar Joseph.

Director of West Indies Cricket Desmond Haynes said that the selection committee had a long discussion regarding the batting line-up.

“I want to state very clearly that our focus has always been (on) roles – roles that we want people to play. The situation of someone like Shamar Joseph, you really can’t question someone like him, we saw him in Australia. He ticked the boxes for us,” he added.

Co-host West Indies will start their campaign against Papa New Guinea (PNG) on June 2 before taking on Uganda, New Zealand and Afghanistan respectively in the group stage.

Hope, Powell take over West Indies white-ball captaincy from Pooran

ANTIGUA: Cricket West Indies (CWI) have confirmed that Shai Hope and Rovman Powell will be the new captains of the ODI and T20I teams, respectively, taking over the roles from Nicholas Pooran. 

Pooran stepped down from the captaincy of both white-ball formats following the West Indies’ forgettable campaign in the last year’s ICC T20 World Cup in November, facing an early exit from the tournament in the first round.

The first assignments for both captains will be the upcoming tour of South Africa in March where the West Indies face the Proteas in three ODIs and three T20Is from 16 to 28 March, following two matches in the ICC World Test Championship, said CWI on Wednesday.

With the 50-Over World Cup in sight later this year, wicket-keeper batter Hope’s foremost challenge as a captain is to earn qualification for West Indies in the tournament as his team is likely to play qualifiers scheduled to be held in Zimbabwe in June.

“To lead a team that is of such incredible significance not only to myself and my teammates but to our legion of fans the world over, is something one dreams of as a child,” Hope said in a CWI statement.

Hope has represented West Indies in 104 ODI games and vice-captained the side on a number of occasions. His exceptional individual performances earned him a place in the ICC ODI Team of the Year for 2022.
