West Indies name squads for ODI, T20 series against India
New Delhi/IBNS: West Indies selectors have named ODI and T20 squads for the upcoming series against India.
Kieron Pollard has been named as the skipper of both the squads.
The series will be played next month.
Nicholas Pooran has been named as the vice captain of the T20 squad while talented Shai Hope is the deputy of the ODI team.
West Indies, the reigning ICC World T20 champions, will face India in three T20Is at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad on December 6; in Thiruvananthapuram on December 8 and at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, on December 11. Following that series the two teams will meet in three ODIs in Chennai (December 15), in Vizag (December 18) and on Cuttack (December 22).
Speaking on the squads Coach Phil Simmons was quoted as saying by West Indies cricket board website: “We have three matches in each format, so we wanted to give each squad a chance to compete against India. No disrespect to Afghanistan, but facing India will be a more difficult series, especially in the ODI. Our players really the hang of thing with the 3-0 series win and I believe we will move from strength to strength."
