West Indies have named wicketkeeper-batsman Shane Dowrich in a 15-man squad for three one-dayers against England next month as they return to international cricket after missing the World Cup for the first time.
The five-match T20I series between India and West Indies ended on a memorable note for West Indies as they clinched victory 3-2. One player who grabbed a lot of limelight was wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran, who stunned everyone with his powerful knocks. In the eight-wicket victory against India in the fifth T20I, Pooran scored 47 runs and provided full support to Brandon King, who played an unbeaten knock of 85 runs. The 27-year-old star batter also walked away with the Player of the Series award.
Brandon King's superb unbeaten 85 led West Indies to an eight-wicket win over India on Sunday to secure a 3-2 victory in their T20I series. Set a target of 166 to win the fifth and deciding contest, in Lauderhill, Florida, West Indies reached their target with two overs to spare with Nicholas Pooran scoring 47 in a partnership of 107 with King. The win was a morale-booster for West Indies cricket after the one-day team failed, last month, to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in their history.
