In a significant development for the West Indies cricket team, Akeal Hosein and Ramon Simmonds have been drafted into the squad as replacements for the ongoing One-Day International (ODI) series against Bangladesh. The decision was announced by Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Monday, following injuries to pacers Jediah Blades and Shamar Joseph. Blades, a 23-year-old left-arm medium pacer, has been sidelined due to a stress fracture in his lower back, ruling him out of the remaining matches and the subsequent tour of New Zealand. He will return home for rehabilitation. Meanwhile, Joseph, who missed the previous tour of India, experienced shoulder discomfort during the first training session ahead of the series opener. After a medical scan, he has been advised to consult a specialist in England to begin his recovery. Simmonds, 24, who recently debuted in the T20I series against Nepal, will bring fresh energy to the squad after taking four wickets in two matches. The West Indies currently trail the three-match ODI series 0-1 after a 74-run defeat in the opening match. The second ODI is set to commence on Tuesday, with the final match scheduled for Thursday.
