On Friday morning (Caribbean time)—almost a month after the first contingent of West Indian players left for New Zealand—the Caribbean side will begin battle with the host in the first leg of a dual-format tour. The teams, ranked 9^th and 6^th on the ICC Men’s T20I Rankings, respectively, are first set to battle in a three-match T20I series, slated to run from November 27^th to the 30^th, with the Test series beginning on December 2^nd.

 Prior to the Men in Maroon’s departure from the Caribbean, Cricket West Indies (CWI) named the following 14-man squad to contest the series: Kieron Pollard (c), Fabian Allen, Sheldon Cottrell, Dwayne Bravo, Andre Fletcher, Shimron Hetmyer, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Rovman Powell, Keemo Paul, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Oshane Thomas, Hayden Walsh Jr., Kesrick Williams.
