West Indies coach Ottis Gibson said Tuesday batsman Wavell Hinds would bring maturity and leadership to the regional squad, as he offered a resolute defence of the 33-year-old’s surprise selection for the upcoming World Twenty20 Championship.

Hinds was last week included in a 15-man side for the April 30 to May 16 tournament at the expense of several younger players, sparking speculation over the reasons behind his selection.
