Hetmyer and Lewis miss out as Windies announce Sri Lanka ODI squad
JAMAICA: Cricket West Indies have announced a 15-player squad for their ODI series in Sri Lanka beginning this month, with recalls for Bravo, Rovman Powell and Fabian Allen. But there is no place for either Shimron Hetmyer or Evin Lewis, both of whom have failed to meet new minimum fitness standards.
Allen will make his return following a knee injury he picked up during West Indies' tour of India in November last year. Bravo meanwhile has not played an ODI since Windies fell to defeat against Bangladesh in Taunton during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019, in which the specialist batsman came in at No.8.
Should he make a start during the series, Powell would be making his first ODI appearance since late 2018, with another loss at the hands of Bangladesh – this time in Sylhet – signalling his most recent ODI cap.
"Darren Bravo and Rovman Powell owe their recall to their outstanding performance in the Colonial Medical Super50 tournament," CWI Lead Selector Harper said in a press release. - AFP
