What did chief selector Desmond Haynes say on West Indies ODI squad
Speaking on the 15-man West Indies squad for the ODI series, chief selector Desmond Haynes said,
We welcome Oshane and Shimron back into the group. Both have played at the international level before, with some success, and we believe they will fit well into the set-up.
Oshane brings pace and is a potential wicket-taker with the new ball. Shimron’s style of batting will offer a lot especially in the middle stage of the innings and he is also a potential ‘finisher’
