Shemaine Campbelle and Chedean Nation made a comeback as Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Sunday announced a 14-member squad for the first two ODIs against India, scheduled to take place in November.
Campbelle and Nation, who did not feature in the series against Australia due to injuries, last played an ODI during the three-match series against England in June and the return of the experienced duo will bolster the Caribbean side.
Pacer Shamnsha Hector and all-rounder Aaliyah Alleyne are the new faces in the West Indies squad. The two earned their maiden call-up following their impressive showings during a training camp.
Deandra Dottin, who is of the West Indies squad since February due to a prolonged shoulder injury, meanwhile missed out on the India series.
The West Indies squad, which has a good mix of youth and experience, will be led by Stafanie Taylor.
“The selection panel chose a good balance of youth and experience when assembling this squad. We have the return of the experienced Chedean Nation and Shemaine Campbelle, who missed the last series against Australia due to injury,” a CWI media release quoted Ann Browne-John, Lead Selector of the Women’s and Girl’s panel Cricket West Indies, as saying.
“We have the return of the experienced Chedean Nation and Shemaine Campbelle, who missed the last series against Australia due to injury,” added Browne-John.
