West Indies make two changes for second Test

By: Staff Reporter, SKNVibes.com

    BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - THE West Indies team for the second and final Test match against India will include two names, as the Interim Selection Committee today (Aug. 29) announced the 13-member squad that will be playing tomorrow at the Sabina Park in Jamaica.

     

    All-rounder Keemo Paul, who was nursing an ankle injury and is available for selection, has replaced Miguel Cummins who came in for heavy criticism for his ineffective bowling performance.

    Wicketkeeper Jahmar Hamilton will remain with the squad and Shane Dowrich has returned to Barbados to continue his rehabilitation, after being ruled out of the series with an ankle injury.

    According to Cricket West Indies, the Sabina Park Test is the second in the series which marks the start of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) for both teams.
     
    The new two-year Test Championship is aimed at finding out which is the best Test team in the world.
     
    West Indies have the chance not only to win the second Test to draw the series, but also the opportunity to claim 60 points for a win or to claim their first points in the WTC. 

    In this series, each team can earn 60 points for a win or 20 points for a draw, and this is the first of six Test series that West Indies will play.
     
    The full squad for tomorrow’s match is as follows:

    Jason Holder (Captain);
    Kemar Roach;
    Keemo Paul;
    Shai Hope;
    Shannon Grabriel;
    Jahmar Hamilton;
    Rahkeem Cornwall;
    Roston Chase;
    John Campbell;
    Shamarh Brooks;
    Darren Bravo; and
    Kraigg Brathwaite.

    West Indies lost the opening Test by 318 runs following a batting collapse in the second innings that saw the home side folding for 100 on day four.
