Left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein said he and the senior players in the Windies setup will have to shoulder the responsibility when the Men In Maroon face Nepal in a three-match T20 series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the United Arab Emirates, from September 27-30.
The 32-year-old Hosein, who put in a timely Man of the Match performance in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) final on September 21 to help Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) to their fifth CPL title, will captain the Windies team which will be without a number of first-team players.
Former West Indies captain Jason Holder joins Hosein in the 15-man squad, with other experienced players including allrounder Fabian Allen, opener Kyle Mayers and left-arm seamer Obed McCoy. However, the team for Nepal is largely an untested one with as many as six uncapped players in the T20 format for the West Indies.

South Africa are scheduled to host West Indies for five T20Is between January 27 and February 6, but as reported by ESPNcricinfo last week, the T20 World Cup is set to be played between February 7 and March 8.

THE Trinbago Knight Riders’ (TKR) fifth Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League title was another win for local sports fans to celebrate, as the achievement came just three days after Trinidad and Tobago track and field duo Keshorn Walcott and Jereem Richards earned medals at one of the most premier athletics meets – the World Championships.
After not getting their hands on the crown for five years, the TKR players were fuelled by Walcott and Richards, giving them impetus to bring even more smiles to their adoring fans at home.
A three-wicket victory for TKR on September 21 over rivals Guyana Amazon Warriors capped off an exciting period for sport in TT.
“This means a lot to the nation. We had a mission,” Bravo said. “We felt really bad that for the last five years we were unable to pull through, but at the same time, the CPL is a very competitive tournament and we are happy that we redeemed ourselves. Credit to all the players and a lot of our fans for supporting us...this is for the nation.”
