At the time, Holder had instead opted to play for Dubai Capitals in the ILT20, but has won a recall after demonstrating his red-ball form for Barbados and Worcestershire this year. He was recently ruled out of the ongoing T20 World Cup with an unspecified injury, but is expected to recover in time to feature against England even as his previous Test had come last July.

Seales, meanwhile, was unavailable for the Australia tour due to a shoulder injury, but has already enjoyed success in England this summer. He has been playing for Sussex, and is the joint-highest wicket-taker in Division Two of the County Championship.

The touring squad features only three players - the two Josephs, and Gudakesh Motie - who are involved in the T20 World Cup, and will arrive in England on June 23 for a training camp at Tonbridge School.

Desmond Haynes, West Indies' lead selector, said: "The squad has been shaped with both experience and emerging talent, ensuring a strong balance as we face the challenge of playing in English conditions. Over the past year, our red-ball program has continued to develop.

"Following our victory in the last Test in Australia in January, it is evident that we are seeing the fruits of that investment. Each player selected has earned their place through consistent performances and hard work. We are confident that this blend of seasoned players and emerging faces will perform admirably against England."

West Indies will play a three-day warm-up match against a County Select XI at Beckenham from July 3. The first Test against England then starts on July 10 at Lord's, which will be James Anderson's farewell as an England player. The second begins on June 18 at Trent Bridge, and the third on June 26 at Edgbaston.
