West Indies has dropped pacer Alzarri Joseph and batter Shimron Hetmyer from the last two T20Is against England.

Hetmyer was replaced by Sherfane Rutherford after his poor outing in the ODIs and T20  matches. Top-order batter Johnson Charles, who last played a T20I against India back in August, has been called into the fold.

Joseph has been released, keeping in mind West Indies’ full-fledged tour of Australia which includes three ODIs, two Tests and three T20Is.

The fourth and fifth T20I will take place on Tuesday, December 19 and Thursday, December 21 at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad.

Rovman Powell (capt), Shai Hope, Johnson Charles, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Gudakesh Motie, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Oshane Thomas
