Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced the 15-member squad for the 50 over leg of the white ball home series against Pakistan, set to take place at the iconic Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, Trinidad. The series will feature three CG United One-Day Internationals (ODIs) on August 8, 10 and 12. 

Hunting a fourth consecutive ODI series win at home, the squad has the nucleus of players who were successful during home series wins against England and Bangladesh to end 2024 as well as the tour of the United Kingdom earlier this year.

The highly anticipated tour will be the final one of the “Full Ah Energy” home series and provides an opportunity for CWI to focus on building its ODI team ahead of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027.

Amazing, Athanaze just made a fifty in the last T20 and he was not selected.

Pakistan is a far better ODI team than T20 team and we saw how weak and vulnerable West Indies were in the T20. Apart from Hope I am not sure anyone else can bat spin especially on a wicket that is similar to theirs in Pakistan. Athanaze once again proved to all that he is the best batsman in the West Indies against both pace and spin but again he was dropped for the Sammy brand of 27 all out team. I really can’t see the Sammy brand team bat out their 50 overs in any of the games and their bowling is not going to be good enough without Jason Holder
