Overview
- Cricket West Indies announced the 15-player Test squad on Wednesday, June 17, naming Roston Chase captain and recalling fast bowlers Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph along with wicketkeeper-batter Joshua Da Silva.
- Alzarri and Shamar return from the injuries that kept them out of the India and New Zealand tours and both resumed competitive action in the recent white-ball series against Sri Lanka.
- Joshua Da Silva and Amir Jangoo earned recalls after strong seasons in the West Indies Championship, with Da Silva scoring heavily across recent editions and replacing Tevin Imlach in the Test group.
- The team is in a high-performance camp in Antigua and will play a four-day warm-up at Coolidge Cricket Ground from June 18–21 before Tests at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium starting June 25 and July 3, both counting for the World Test Championship.
- The selection pressurizes results because West Indies sit at the bottom of the current WTC cycle, so the series offers a chance to gain points, restore confidence for players and shape the squad ahead of home matches against Pakistan.
