The Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced squads for the West Indies “A” Team series against Bangladesh “A” Team, which is set to be played at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in Saint Lucia.

Wicket-keeper batter Joshua Da Silva will lead the side in both formats, confirmed by the lead selector Dr. Desmond Haynes ahead of the series.

“We stated from very early that we would look to give the opportunities to players and broaden the pool. The ‘A Team’ programme is a very good thing for West Indies cricket and CWI must be complimented for ensuring that we have these matches back up and running and arranging these games in Saint Lucia,”

“The squad is selected for us to have a closer look at the players in the longer format and also 50-over format as we have a lot of international cricket around the corner. We want to give the players exposure and the chance to play ‘A Team’ cricket and President’s XI matches as we had earlier this year as it is vital and much needed.

The two teams will play two four-day first-class matches followed by three 50-over matches from 4 to 20 August.

Joshua Da Silva (Captain), Alick Athanaze, Colin Archibald, Yannic Cariah, Kacy Carty, Bryan Charles , Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Justin Greaves, Tevin Imlach, Shermon Lewis, Jeremiah Louis, Marquino Mindley, Anderson Phillip, Jeremy Solozano.
