Brandon King leads the West Indies in Afghanistan
West Indies are missing crucial players in the squad for the T20 series against Afghanistan as preparation for the World Cup next month.
Cricket West Indies’ 16-member squad for the three-match T20 International series against Afghanistan will be played at the Dubai Cricket International Stadium in the United Arab Emirates from January 19–22.
The series serves as crucial preparation ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup which begins on February 6, with the final squad for this competition to be announced ahead of the three-match T20I series against South Africa set for January 27–31.
T20 captain Shai Hope, along with established players Roston Chase, Akeal Hosein and Sherfane Rutherford were unavailable for selection due to commitments in the ongoing SA20 tournament.
In Hope’s absence, Brandon King has been appointed captain. King has previously led the West Indies in T20 Internationals, including during the home series against South Africa in early 2024, and brings valuable leadership experience into this assignment.
Shamar Joseph and Evin Lewis are back in action for this series after injury.
West Indies T20 squad: Brandon King (capt), Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Johnson Charles, Matthew Forde, Justin Greaves, Shimron Hetmyer, Amir Jangoo, Shamar Joseph, Evin Lewis, Gudakesh Motie, Khary Pierre, Quentin Sampson, Jayden Seales, Ramon Simmonds, Shamar Springer.
