West Indies have named a 15-member squad for the One-Day International (ODI) series against Pakistan, scheduled to take place at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy on August 8, 10 and 12.
According to details, the Cricket West Indies said in a press release: "It presents an opportunity for the West Indies to refine its ODI line-up in preparation for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027."
The squad retained the core of players who secured recent home series victories over England and Bangladesh at the end of 2024, as well as the tour of the United Kingdom earlier this year. West Indies will aim for a fourth consecutive home ODI series win.
Shai Hope will continue as captain. Alzarri Joseph has been rested as part of workload management, while Romario Shepherd returns after missing matches against Ireland and England earlier this year.
Head Coach Daren Sammy stated that the side intends to carry forward the positive results of the last 18 months. He said: ‘Pakistan present a different test and challenge as we continue our push for automatic qualification for the 2027 World Cup.’
The opening ODI between West Indies and Pakistan is scheduled for 8 August.
