Fraser-McGurk, who recently missed out on a central contract, will be eager to make an impression and reignite his international career in the Caribbean. Bartlett comes in as Hazlewood returns home to prepare for next month’s series against South Africa. Meanwhile, Johnson continues his recovery from a back injury and remains unavailable.

The five T20Is [21 July- 29 July] ]will be split between two venues—two games in Kingston and three in Basseterre.
