Pacer Shamar Joseph secures a spot in the West Indies squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the US and Caribbean. Although he hasn’t played an international T20 yet, his presence in the ongoing Indian Premier League underscores his potential. Earlier this year, Joseph made a remarkable Test debut against Australia.
In other selections, West Indies maintain consistency with Alzarri Joseph appointed as the deputy to skipper Rovman Powell. Shimron Hetmyer returns to the squad, while Kyle Mayers and Oshane Thomas miss out. Notably, all-rounders Roston Chase, Akeal Hosein, and Gudakesh Motie bolster the spin options.
The two-time T20 World Cup champions find themselves grouped alongside Papua New Guinea (PNG), Uganda, New Zealand, and Afghanistan in Group C
