Greaves, Jangoo called up for West Indies' ODIs against Bangladesh
Written by I Dig Sports"Greaves is capable of batting anywhere in the top six and brings that genuine all-round ability to the squad, which is welcomed at this stage," West Indies head coach Daren Sammy was quoted via a press release. "Jangoo's prowess in the CG United Super50 shows his flexibility to bring another dimension to our batting unit."
"We continue to build towards the main target of the Men's 50-over World Cup where we are looking to broaden the pool of players even with the short-term objectives of winning series, especially at home and building momentum on the recent win against England," Sammy said.
The rest of the squad remains on expected lines. Captain Shai Hope and his deputy Brandon King will headline the batting unit, which includes Evin Lewis, Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Keacy Carty and Roston Chase. Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph will lead the fast bowling unit along with Jayden Seales and Matthew Forde. Gudakesh Motie will head the spin bowling department.
All three ODIs against Bangladesh will be played in Basseterre on December 8, 10 and 12 respectively. The series will be followed by a three-T20I series from December 16 in Kingstown.
