Cricket West Indies (CWI) Men\u2019s Selection Panel has unveiled the 15-member squad for the West Indies Men\u2019s A Team set to tour Nepal from April 25th to May 15th, 2024.<\/p>\n
Led by the experienced Roston Chase as Captain and supported by Alick Athanaze as Vice-Captain, the West Indies Men\u2019s A Team will engage in a series of five (5) Twenty20 matches against the Nepal Senior Men\u2019s Team. This tour holds significant importance as it serves as another phase in preparation leading up to the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2024. The series also marks a historic occasion as it is West Indies’ first-ever tour to Nepal.<\/p>\n
Roston Chase will take on the responsibility of captain for the first time at this level. Commenting on Chase\u2019s selection as Captain, Dr. The Most Honorable Desmond Haynes, CWI\u2019s Lead Selector, emphasized Chase\u2019s consistent display of diligence and leadership skills. Dr. Haynes remarked, \u201cChase has exhibited over the past few years an impressive work ethic and proven leadership qualities\u201d He further noted, \u201cNo doubt since Chase made his T20I debut in October 2021, for the West Indies against Bangladesh he has continued to make considerable strides.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Haynes further emphasized the significance of this squad stating \u201cI am confident this Nepal tour marks a crucial step forward in our preparatory phase for the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup. It presents an invaluable opportunity to get our players who are not in the IPL back on the park playing competitive T20 cricket as well as provides the chance for us to expose a few emerging prospects.\u201d<\/p>\n
In preparation for the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup, White Ball Head Coach, Daren Sammy said \u201cFrom a coaching perspective, the Nepal tour couldn\u2019t have come at a more opportune time. It offers us a chance to refine our World Cup squad, defining roles and personnel more clearly. Additionally, with nine players in the IPL, we can truly gauge and push the limits of our T20 team\u2019s depth.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tour\u2019s opening T20 fixture will bowl off at Tribhuvan University on April 27th, 2024.<\/p>\n
