Cricket West Indies (CWI) is pleased to announce the West Indies Championship XI, set to compete in a warm-up fixture against South Africa from 31 July to 3 August. This is a crucial opportunity to engage several talented players who have either demonstrated consistent performance over multiple seasons or have shown impressive emerging talent.

The selection of these players is part of CWI’s strategy to evaluate the readiness of potential squad members for the upcoming West Indies vs South Africa Home Test Series. The focus is on assessing their battle readiness and potential contributions to the men's Test team.

The West Indies Championship XI includes:

Justin Greaves (c), Keacy Carty, Jediah Blades, Joshua Bishop, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Bryan Charles, Amir Jangoo, Anderson Phillip, Nial Smith, Jeremy Solozano, Shamar Springer, Isai Thorne, Kevin Wickham, Kemar Roach

I just don’t understand the thinking of our selectors. They don’t even seem to know what they want. The name of the team is “The West Indies championship X1”. So why is Dillon Tyson, not in the team? He was no doubt one of the most promising fast bowlers, though he only played 3 matches but he finished with 26 wickets @ an average of 16. 2 Why is 30 year old Justin Greaves the captain, when he was dropped from the squad to England? 3. They keep treating Keacy Carty, as if he is an ODI specialist whereas he has shown that he has what it takes to be a test player, instead of Zachary McCaskie, since he couldn’t find a place on the test team to Australia and England
