New Delhi: Host West Indies has announced its squad for the ICC T20 World Cup. West Indies has announced a strong team under the captaincy of Rovman Powell. Gabba hero Shamar Joseph has also been included in this team. Shamar also got a chance to play in the Indian Premier League, but he could not show his talent. Apart from Shamar, the name of a strong all-rounder like Andre Russell is also included in this West Indies team. However, the IPL debut match was nothing special for Shamar Joseph. Shamar gave away 47 runs in his first match for Lucknow against KKR and did not get a single wicket. During this period his line length was also very bad.
Apart from this, Shimron Hetmyer has also been included in the T20 World Cup. Hetmyer was not a part of the West Indies team in the last Australia series, but he is performing amazingly in the Indian Premier League. In such a situation, he can create a stir for his team in the T20 World Cup.
Kyle Mayers will play the role of opener
Kyle Mayers has also been included in this West Indies squad. Kyle Mayers has shown strong play in recent times. In IPL 2023, he created a stir for Lucknow Super Giants. In such a situation, it will be expected from him that he will show his talent for West Indies in the T20 World Cup.
Apart from this, pace bowling will be led by Alzarri Joseph. Alzarri Joseph has also been made the vice captain of the team. Whereas players like Akil Hussain and Gudakesh Moti are ready to make a splash in spin bowling.
