The West Indies Cricket Board has announced its squad for the last two matches of the five-match T20 series against England. Two major changes have been made to the team. Two important changes have been made in the West Indies team, which is leading 2-1 after three matches of this series. The fourth match of the series will be played today i.e. Tuesday 19 December in Trinidad. The last match at this ground is scheduled to be played on Thursday, December 21.
The board opted to make some changes for the final two matches of the series, leaving out fast bowler Alzari Joseph and veteran batsman Shimron Hetmyer from the 15-man squad and replacing them with pacers Oshan Thomas and Johnson Charles. The decision to rest Joseph has been taken in view of next month’s tour of Australia, where the West Indies will play a two-match Test series against the ICC World Test Championship winners in Adelaide and Brisbane.
