PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad – Cricket West Indies’ (CWI) Senior Men’s Selection Panel today named the 13-player squad to face India in the three-match CG United ODI Series in Trinidad.

The teams will compete for the CG United trophy. The three matches will be played on Friday 22 July, Sunday 24 July and Wednesday 27 July at the historic Queen’s Park Oval. All matches start at 9:30am (8:30am Jamaica Time/7pm India time).

The Selection Panel recalled experienced all-rounder Jason Holder, who returns to the squad after missing the Bangladesh Series to help manage his workload as one of the West Indies all format players.

Lead Selector, The Most Hon. Dr Desmond Haynes said: “As we all know Jason is one of the leading all-round cricketers in the world and we’re happy to have him back in the team. He will be refreshed, re-energized and ready to go and we can expect to see his brilliance on the field as well as meaningful contributions off the field as well.”

Haynes added: “We had a very challenging three matches against Bangladesh in Guyana so we will be looking to rebound when we face India in the conditions in Trinidad. We have seen some growth among some players, but overall we need to regroup and play better against the Indians.”

Wellington, New Zealand- Australia defeated West Indies Women by 7 wickets at Basin Reserve in the group stage of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in Wellington.

Winning the toss and electing to bat first, West Indies Women posted 131 all out in 45.5 overs. Captain Stafanie Taylor top scored with an even 50 from 91 deliveries. Shemaine Campbelle had the next best figures with 20 off 51 balls. Ellyse Perry was the pick of the Australian bowlers, taking 3/22 followed by Ashleigh Gardner with 3/25.

Rachel Haynes led the Australians in their run-chase, finishing not out with a top-score of 83 from 95 deliveries. Beth Mooney was next best with 28 not out from 42 balls. Chinelle Henry, Hayley Matthews and Shamilia Connell had one wicket a piece bowling for the West Indies.

Speaking after the match, all-rounder Hayley Matthews said, “Obviously going into the second innings we knew we didn’t have the score we wanted on the board but at the same time, we’ve shown a lot of fight throughout the entire tournament and we were looking to do nothing different today. We knew we would have a chance if we took early wickets. I don’t think it’s too much pressure (going into the last three games). Coming into this tournament we knew the first four games are going to probably be our hardest. We said to ourselves if we could get 2-3 wins out of these first four games we would be in a strong position and we’ve done exactly that. The tournament is still in our hands if we can go out there and win the remaining three matches.”

West Indies Women will travel to Tauranga where they will play Bangladesh on March 18 at Bay Oval. First ball is at 11:00am (March 17, 6:00pm Eastern Caribbean Time/5pm Jamaica Time)
