Brandon King is set to lead the West Indies for their three-match T20 International series against Afghanistan, scheduled for the Dubai International Stadium in the United Arab Emirates from January 19 to 22.
Resident white-ball captain Shai Hope is one of four players who will miss the trip due to their participation in South Africa’s ongoing SA20, along with Roston Chase, Akeal Hosein, and Sherfane Rutherford.
Fast-bowler Shamar Joseph and opener Evin Lewis have, however, been included in the team after recovering from injuries. Alzarri Joseph, on the other hand, has not been cleared to play.
