Shane and Kyle hopeful

HARARE – Barbadians Shane Dowrich and Kyle Hope will be keeping their fingers crossed that the selectors will keep faith with them when the West Indies squad for a short two-Test series against Zimbabwe is named this week.

The Jason Holder-led West Indies outfit, who will arrive in Harare next week Wednesday, will play two Test series, both at Queens Sports Club.

Former captain Chris Gayle, who has amassed 7 214 runs in 103 Tests at an average of 42.18 with 15 hundreds, has also indicated an interest in reviving his Test career but his fitness could rule him out of selection.

Dowrich and Hope failed miserably on the recent tour of England when the home team defeated the West indies 2-1 in a three-match Test rubber. (EZS/CMC)
