Saturday, 15 May 2021 — ST JOHN’S, Antigua —The Cricket West Indies (CWI) Selection Panel has named a 30-man squad for a three-week high-performance red-ball training camp in St Lucia, starting tomorrow, Sunday, May 16, in preparation for the upcoming Test Series against South Africa. The camp provides an opportunity for established Test and developing players alike to sharpen and enhance their red-ball skills in a high-performance environment after a month-long break after the Sri Lanka Series. The camp will include two ‘best v best’ inter-squad matches, as the West Indies look ahead to their final series in the ICC World Test Championship with two Test Matches against the Proteas in June. Most players attending have been involved in recent West Indies Test squads and high-performance camps. A few players, however, will be receiving their first international training experience since the beginning of the pandemic including Guyanese fast bowler Nial Smith, Jamaican top-order batsman Paul Palmer, Vincentian leg-spinning all-rounder Keron Cottoy and St. Kitts & Nevis’ left-hand batter, Kieran Powell.

Fairly good squad, good to see K. Powell and Cottoy selected, notable omissions Ambris, Hetmyer and Pooran. However I guess Cottoy is just there to provide practice, as it is puzzling to determine what is his specialty, he played 11 first class matches, he has one century, one fifty and 11 wickets.

I will be looking at three things after the camp and leading into the First Test.
One, will there be any player changes to the eleven that faced Sri Lanka.
Two, will a specialist spinner be included on what is usually a fast track.
Three, will the strategy of five specialist batsmen and five specialist bowlers be maintained. Or will we revert back to six specialist batsmen and four specialist bowlers.
Only time will tell.
