The West Indies cricket team will go to India for a two-week limited-overs series against the 'Men in Blue,' which will include three ODIs and as many T20I matches. On February 6, 2022, India and the West Indies will begin their series.
In addition, the West Indies have named their ODI squad for the upcoming series with India. Kemar Roach, a veteran right-arm pacer, and Nkrumah Bonner have both returned to the squad. Brandon King has also earned a spot in the lineup.
Desmond Haynes, the West Indies selector, also complimented Roach, saying that the pacer is one of the best fast bowlers in the world right now. Haynes also joined in on Bonner's decision, saying that the batter has come a long way.
"Kemar Roach is one of our top fast bowlers, and we believe we need bowlers upfront to get early wickets, and Kemar is surely talented enough to play with an economy rate of five." Nkrumah Bonner's cricket has improved significantly in recent years, and we believe he should be given a chance to play in the 50-over format," Desmond Haynes said.
Desmond Haynes has stated that the West Indies should reach a point where competition for various positions in the team exists. Haynes finished by saying that the team chosen is a good one and that the journey to India would be excellent preparation for the 'Men in Maroon' for 2023 fifty over World Cup.
"We want places to be competitive." We want to get to a point where a lot of guys are competing for slots. We wish to increase the number of players from which we can choose. "We are looking at this tour as part of our preparations for the World Cup in India in 2023, and the team we have selected is a very good side," Haynes said.
