Antigua, July 23 (IBNS): Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine have been named in the West Indies squad for the  first two T20Is against India.

West Indies selectors have named a 14-member squad for the series.

Carlos Brathwaite will be the leader of the team.

West Indies had a forgettable World Cup campiagn as Jason Holder's men could not reach the semis.

Anthony Bramble is the newcomer in the 14-member squad selected for the first two T20Is in the series which will be contested on August 3 and 4 at the Broward County Stadium, Lauderhill, Florida.

The squad also includes Andre Russell, subject to him passing a fitness assessment prior to the series.

He is set to return to the playing field following his early exit from the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 to undergo an operation on his troublesome left knee.

Left-handed opener John Campbell and left-arm spinner Khary Pierre have also been included alongside a number of regulars led by captain Carlos Brathwaite, as the interim CWI Selection Panel seeks to explore options with the ICC T20 World Cup looming next year in Australia.

“This squad is an excellent balance of experience and youth,”interim chairman of the CWI Selection Panel, Robert Haynes, was quoted as saying by the board's website.

Haynes said veteran opener Chris Gayle had notified him that he was unavailable for the series, due to playing commitments at the GT20 in Canada.

West Indies team: John Campbell, Evin Lewis, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicolas Pooran, Kieron Pollard, Rovman Powell, Carlos Brathwaite (c), Keemo Paul, Sunil Narine, Sheldon Cottrell, Oshane Thomas, Anthony Bramble, Andre Russell, Khary Pierre.
