The team has announced that Alick Athanaze will replace Hetmyer for the series. This update comes just a day after the West Indies made two other changes to their squad.

Injuries ruled out Matthew Forde and Shamar Joseph, leading to the inclusion of Marquino Mindley and Jediah Blades as their replacements.

Hetmyer's absence is a significant blow to the team, but Athanaze brings experience, having played 12 ODIs for the West Indies. The announcement was confirmed through the team's official social media channels.
