Cricket West Indies has unveiled a 15-member squad for their upcoming Test tour of India, their first since 2018 and the opening away series in the new World Test Championship cycle. The Men in Maroon face a formidable challenge, with two matches slated from October 2nd to 14th. The selection reflects a clear intent to compete, with strategic choices tailored to subcontinental conditions. Head coach Daren Sammy emphasized the team’s readiness, stating, ‘Playing in the subcontinent always presents a challenge, and we have selected a team to be competitive in these conditions.’ The squad includes notable recalls for Guyanese opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Dominican left-hander Alick Athanaze, both expected to bolster the team’s struggling top order. Athanaze’s proficiency against spin could prove crucial. Trinidad & Tobago’s Khary Pierre, a left-arm orthodox spinner and capable lower-order batsman, earns his maiden call-up, bringing a wealth of first-class experience, including over 100 wickets and a best bowling figure of 7-45. The team will miss the experience of 100-Test veteran Kraigg Braithwaite, who has faced recent struggles. The squad, led by Roston Chase, aims to rebound from a disappointing whitewash against Australia, showcasing their potential as a cohesive unit. Full squad: Roston Chase (Captain), Jomel Warrican (Vice-Captain), Kevlon Anderson, Alick Athanaze, John Campbell, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Justin Greaves, Shai Hope, Tevin Imlach, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Brandon King, Anderson Phillip, Khary Pierre, Jayden Seales.
