Roach suffered a knee injury ahead of the team’s tour to the sub-continent and was consequently ruled out of the ongoing two-match Test series. He however, was passed fit for the shorter version, which sees his side take on the hosts in five ODIs and a T20I from November 30.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379, the team’s vice-captain, will miss the clashes after he failed to recover from a thigh strain, which he picked last month. He had earlier been ruled of the Champions League T20 where he was supposed to represent the Chennai Super Kings.
The tourists has retained 9 players from current Test squad, while six will fly back home, including http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Assad-Badyr-Fudadin-c46573.
Spinner, Veerasammy Permaul, and opener Kieran Powell are two prominent players who have been retained. The former made a reasonable debut in the just concluded first Test where he picked up four wickets, while the latter scored a hundred in each innings of that same match. Seamer Tino Best’s maiden five-for also allows him to keep his place in the squad.
Apart from Roach, the players who have joined the Test group include opener Lendl Simmons, wicket-keeper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 will lead the side, while Pollard will be his deputy in Bravo’s absence.
This will be the team’s first limited-overs’ series since they lifted the World T20 Cup last month by defeating host http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
The Windies currently lead the ongoing series after recording an impressive 77-run win in the opening Test. The second Test begins from November 21 at Khulna before the visitors prepare for the shorter format with a practice match against Bangladesh XI. The tour concludes on December 10 at Mirpur.
