GRENADIAN pacer Nelon Pascal and Dominican off-spinner Shane Shillingford have been named in the West Indies’ 14-man squad for the first Digicel Test against South Africa at the Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad, from June 10 to June 14.
Pascal replaces Jerome Taylor, who has returned to Jamaica to continue his rehabilitation from a hip injury while Kemar Roach, who missed the recent One-Day series because of an ankle injury, returns.
Apart from Pascal and Shillingford, the only other player yet to play Test cricket in the squad, is talented Trinidadian left-handed batsman Darren Bravo, who wins a place in the squad, in the absence of injured Ramnaresh Sarwan.
SQUAD: Chris Gayle (captain), Dwayne Bravo (vice captain), Sulieman Benn, Darren Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Narsingh Deonarine, Travis Dowlin, Brendan Nash, Nelon Pascal, Denesh Ramdin, Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach, Darren Sammy, Shane Shillingford. (EZS)
