Jamaican openers Brandon King and John Campbell have been included in the 15-man West Indies squad named by Cricket West Indies (CWI) for the upcoming two-Test series away to India from October 2–14.
The series forms part of the ICC World Test Championship and marks the Caribbean side’s first away assignment of the new cycle. It will also be the West Indies’ first Test tour of India since 2018, with matches to be staged at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The squad shows three changes from the team that recently faced Australia. Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Alick Athanaze have earned recalls, while left-arm spinner Khary Pierre has been rewarded with a maiden Test call-up after topping the wicket-taking charts in the West Indies Championship with 41 wickets at an average of 13.56.
Captain Roston Chase and vice-captain Jomel Warrican will lead a unit also featuring Kevlon Anderson, Justin Greaves, Shai Hope, Tevin Imlach, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Anderson Phillip, and Jayden Seales.
The squad is scheduled to depart the Caribbean on September 22, with arrival in Ahmedabad set for September 24.
Tour Schedule:
- 1st Test: October 2–6 – Ahmedabad, Narendra Modi Stadium
- 2nd Test: October 10–14 – Delhi, Arun Jaitley Stadium
