Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced two changes to the West Indies T20I squad as they prepare for the final leg of the five-match series against England in Saint Lucia.
With the series on the line, all-rounder Andre Russell has been ruled out due to a left ankle sprain suffered in the opening T20I at the Kensington Oval, Barbados. Shamar Springer, an all-rounder who recently played two T20Is against Sri Lanka, will replace Russell.
Additionally, pacer Alzarri Joseph, who has completed his two-match suspension, will rejoin the squad for the crucial last leg of the series, replacing Shamar Joseph.
West Indies, currently trailing 0-2 in the five-match series, will need to rally to keep their hopes alive after England secured commanding wins in the first two games.
England won the opening match by 8 wickets and followed it with a 7-wicket victory, both played over the past weekend.
The final three T20Is will take place at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in Saint Lucia, where home fans are encouraged to turn out in support of the West Indies team as they look to stage a comeback.
West Indies T20I Squad: Rovman Powell (Captain), Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Shimron Hetmyer, Terrance Hinds, Shai Hope, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Gudakesh Motie, Nicholas Pooran, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Shamar Springer
