BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) — Batting sensation Chris Gayle and all-rounder Andre Russell have both been included in the 15-man West Indies squad for the Twenty20 World Cup in India.

Some media reports yesterday announced the squad without Gayle and Russell, sparking some speculation on social media, but

CMC Sports understands that the Jamaican pair are definitely part of the Windies campaign for the March 8 to April 3 tournament.

The squad, which is yet to be named officially by the West Indies Cricket Board, includes embattled off-spinner Sunil Narine who is currently banned from bowling internationally.

However, Narine is expected to undergo testing on his action at Loughborough University in England next month before confirming his spot on the side.
