WI vs IND. West Indies’ 13-member squad announced for the first Test! Star players out of the team

The two-match Test series between India and West Indies is starting soon. The first match of the series will start from July 12 in Dominica and the West Indies squad for this has been announced. 13 players have been selected in this squad led by regular captain Craig Braithwaite. But two of their key players are not in this team.

The 13-man squad selected for the first Test against India must have been two tough decisions for the West Indies team management. Kyle Mayers and Nkrama Bonner have been dropped from the squad by the team management. Mears took 6 wickets in the last test match he played for the team. Nkrama Bonner, on the other hand, did not play in the last Test played by West Indies. West Indies played their last Test match against South Africa in the month of February this year.

In this two-match series, West Indies had to accept a 2-0 defeat. Mears’ performance in the last game of the series was outstanding. But since then he has been in poor form. He did not perform as expected in the World Cup qualifiers either. As a result the West Indies team did not qualify to play the World Cup. Meanwhile, India and West Indies will start the 2023-25 ​​season of the World Test Championship with the upcoming Test series. (West Indies squad announced for the first Test against India)
