ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced the squad for the upcoming three-match CG United T20 International (T20I) home series against Bangladesh, which will be held from December 15 to 19, 2024, at the Arnos Vale Stadium in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The series, which will be the final series for the year on home soil, will see the return of the experienced Johnson Charles, who has been sidelined for the past two series due to injury. Additionally, Keacy Carty has earned his first T20 International call-up following an impressive Caribbean Premier League season, strengthening the middle-order options for the West Indies. The team will be captained by Rovman Powell, with Brandon King as vice-captain.
Head Coach Daren Sammy welcomed the inclusion of Carty, who notched a maiden century against England in November, emphasizing the importance of depth in the batting lineup for a competitive series.
Sammy said.
Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford will not be available for this series as they are fulfilling commitments in the Big Bash League. Akeal Hosein will also miss the final match of the series for similar reasons.
The squad was selected with a clear focus on continuity and preparation for the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup. Sammy added,
Sammy expressed the importance of closing the year on a high, particularly for fans in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
