Cricket West Indies (CWI) this morning announced their 15-man squad for the impending ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in June. Among the 15 players revealed, five Guyanese were included; rookie fast bowler Shamar Joseph along with hard-hitting all-rounders Sherfane Rutherford and Romario Shepherd while Shimron Hetmyer has earned a recall following a bad run of form in maroon colours. Spinner Gudakesh Motie has also found himself in the squad.
At the squad announcement, Lead Selector, Dr. Desmond Haynes and Head Coach Darren Sammy both expressed confidence in the team and its chances of winning the world cup at home. The West Indies and the USA are co-hosts of the World Cup which will run from June 1-29 across venues in the Caribbean and the USA.
