Left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein said he and the senior players in the Windies setup will have to shoulder the responsibility when the Men In Maroon face Nepal in a three-match T20 series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the United Arab Emirates, from September 27-30.
The 32-year-old Hosein, who put in a timely Man of the Match performance in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) final on September 21 to help Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) to their fifth CPL title, will captain the Windies team which will be without a number of first-team players.
Former West Indies captain Jason Holder joins Hosein in the 15-man squad, with other experienced players including allrounder Fabian Allen, opener Kyle Mayers and left-arm seamer Obed McCoy. However, the team for Nepal is largely an untested one with as many as six uncapped players in the T20 format for the West Indies.
