Hetmyer returned to the West Indies team after a long time

Hetmyer has been out of the West Indies team for long time due to fitness issues. This time he is going to return with the T20 series against India after overcoming that problem. The West Indies Cricket Board has named Hetmyer in the squad for the upcoming white-ball series against India and New Zealand.

Evin Lewis did not have a place in the team even though Hetmyer returned to the field after the last Twenty20 World Cup in the jersey of the Caribbean. It is known that he was not kept in the team due to fitness problems. He could not play against Bangladesh before this. Apart from this, Gutakesh Moti also got knocked out due to injury.

Akil Hossain and Hayden Walsh Jr. are in the team as spinners. Meanwhile, the journey started with the first T20 of the five-match series against India at the Brian Lara Stadium. The remaining four matches of the series will be played at Warnock and Lauderhill in Basseterre.

West Indies T20 Team:

Nicholas Pooran (Captain), Rovman Powell (Vice Captain), Shamarh Brooks, Dominic Drakes, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Obed McCoy, Keemo Paul, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Devon Thomas, Hayden Walsh Jr.
