ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – West Indies chances against India in the upcoming MyTeam11 Twenty20 International Series, co-sponsored by Skoda, were given a boost with the recall of the veteran duo of Sunil Narine and Kieron Pollard.

Wicketkeeper/batsman Anthony Bramble is the only newcomer in the 14-member squad selected for the first two T20Is in the series which will be contested on August 3 and 4 at the Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida. The Selection Panel has the opportunity to make changes to the squad before the third T20I on August 6 at the Guyana National Stadium.

The squad also includes Andre Russell, subject to him passing a fitness assessment prior to the series. He is set to return to the playing field following his early exit from the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 England & Wales to undergo an operation on his troublesome left knee.

So why are they rushing Russell back? They could wreck the guy's career.

Better yet - why is Russell rushing himself back?

Oshane Thomas is not a limited over specialist. He is a boundary ball phenom a modern day Uton Dowe. Haynes you had to pick your countryman although you should know he is a wrong fit. WI will never learn from their idiotic mistakes.

Strange team. Thomas is not a T20 bowler. Russell is iffy and possibly no where near fit and match ready. Rovman Powell has lost his way.
So who is opening the bowling with Cottrell? Kemo, Pollard or Carlos?
Wow. This will really drive fear into the hearts of Virat and his team.

Thomas inclusion is the same reason Archer is playing for England.

Quota system and someone wanting his countryman playing.

Agreed on all counts. Why risk Russell? This is silly. Let him rest and recover.

Dwayne Bravo?! This guy has no place in West Indies cricket. I am glad to see that he is not even mentioned. Thank you selectors for sticking to principles. Bravo should never again represent the West Indies!
