The fifth match of the CG Insurance T20 International (T20I) Series against Australia will be played under lights at the Daren Sammy Cricket Stadium (DSCG) tomorrow, Friday, July 16 with the first ball at 7:30pm (6:30pm Jamaica Time).
Following a thrilling win in the 3rd match which saw Chris Gayle reaching a T-20 14,000 run milestone, West Indies lost the 4th match by four runs last night.
In the 14-member squad which was announced by the Cricket West Indies Selection Panel for the fourth and fifth matches, left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein and off-spinner Kevin Sinclair have been named in the match-day squad as replacements for Shimron Hetmyer and Obed McCoy, who have minor injuries. West Indies have an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match CG Insurance Series. West Indies clinched the Series with a six-wicket victory on Monday night, after a superb win by 18 runs last Friday night followed by an impressive 56-run triumph on Saturday night.
Roger Harper, Lead Selector said: “The team has played really well to win the first three matches and the CG Insurance Series – they have played good cricket in every department. The aim is to continue to build on the momentum created and strive to win the remaining games. Winning builds confidence from a team perspective and will give the players greater belief in the roles they are playing. So, it is important to keep winning. We took the decision to rest players who have picked up some niggles and give opportunities to other players in the squad.”
This CG Insurance T20I Series forms part of the West Indies’ T20 World Cup preparation. The defending champions have a total of 15 T20Is to be played across three months in the build-up to the ICC T20 World Cup which is being staged in the United Arab Emirates and Oman from October 17 to November 14.

With the next triangular series scheduled for the China Friendship park formerly known as the Winsor Park in Dominica one may ask who or what is triangularing. Its only because St.Vincent endured the effects of the volcano, and Trinidad which has not done so well with the covid issue that these 2 countries have not had/have cricket played. But Dominica which has done so well with the covid issue and has no other apparent issue has not seen any game played. Why, May I ask Madame sports minister, or are you planning to construct Wire Park as the world Mega of sports stadium? Whats wrong with sports in Dominica? Are you telling me that everything in Dominica died or is dying and this labor party is burying?
