Windies announces squad for upcoming summer tour

West Indies have named a 15-member test squad for the upcoming summer tour of England which starts at Lord’s on July 10.

Fast Bowler Jayden Seales returns to the squad and experienced all-rounder Jason Holder has been selected despite missing the current World Cup with an injury.

19-year-old fast bowler, Isai Thorne will travel with the team as a development player.

The full team reads: Kraigg Brathwaite (captain), Alzarri Joseph (vice-captain), Alick Athanaze, Joshua Da Silva, Holder, Kavem Hodge, Tevin Imlach, Shamar Joseph, Louis, Zachary McCaskie, Kirk McKenzie, Gudakesh Motie, Kemar Roach, Seales and Kevin Sinclair.

The West Indies are the current holders of the Richards Botham Trophy following the 1-nil Home Test series win in March 2022.
