Star Returns After Two Years As West Indies Announce Squad For First Test vs India
West Indies have called up the uncapped pair of Jamaican Kirk McKenzie and Dominican Alick Athanaze for the opening Test against India starting next Friday in Dominica. Both are left-handed upper-order batsmen while Athanaze can also provide an option with his right arm off-breaks on his home track of Windsor Park. The 22-year-old opener McKenzie had scores of 91 and 86 during the West Indies 'A' tour of Bangladesh in May while Athanaze, batting at number four, had an 85 and a 45 in the same series.
