Cricket West Indies (CWI) is pleased to announce the 15-member squad for the historic T20 International series against Nepal, to be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the UAE from September 27–30.

This groundbreaking series forms part of the team’s build-up towards the ICC T20 World Cup in 2026, which will be staged in subcontinent conditions.

With the series falling outside the ICC’s Future Tours Programme, selectors have seized the opportunity to include several emerging players who impressed in the inaugural West Indies Breakout League and the ongoing Caribbean Premier League. At the same time, a number of senior players have been given the chance to rest and manage their workloads.

Akeal Hosein, a key member of the T20I leadership group, has been named captain of the squad, which features six potential debutants. Rayon Griffith will head the Team Management Unit as Head Coach, with experienced former West Indies Head Coach Ottis Gibson serving as fast-bowling consultant.

The first series that I have ever wanted West Indies to lose.

Whats wrong with you people. First you throw up a straw man rumour that Mayers was captain and started hacking away at it. Now you telling Hosein turn down captaining the WI. Would you prefer WI to fail just to make your point?

These Trinis on this board would do anything to see a Sammy led Windies fail.

There is VERY LITTLE required additionally, for a Sammy-led WI to plumb a new low.

In reply to Logic

That's not a secret.

Bump....

@voiceofreason

I am not Trini, but I don't think Sammy or Bascombe has the necessary experience for the job.

@voiceofreason

No, VOR, we don't feel that way. It's sad to see a once proud WICB now below minnow status.
