WI vs KI­WIS

Narine back for T20 series vs Kiwis

T&T's mys­tery spin­ner Sunil Nar­ine has been cho­sen on the West In­dies team for the up­com­ing two-match T20 se­ries against New Zealand next week­end in Do­mini­ca.

The right arm off-spin­ner was banned from play­ing against the same op­po­nents in the cur­rent Test se­ries be­cause he failed to make the June 1 dead­line to at­tend a prepara­to­ry camp in Bar­ba­dos.

He now makes a come­back and so too Ke­iron Pol­lard who missed the 2014 World T20 tour­na­ment in Bangladesh due to in­juries. How­ev­er, in­jury will keep all rounder Dwayne Bra­vo off the park, as he is still re­cov­er­ing from a ham­string strain that now threat­ens his ap­pear­ance in the ear­ly stages of the Caribbean Pre­mier League (CPL) which gets un­der­way on Ju­ly 11 in Grena­da.

Oth­er T&T play­ers called to the squad are bats­man Dar­ren Bra­vo who was not cho­sen for the World T20 tour­na­ment. The dap­per left han­der has been in form in the Test se­ries and scored a cen­tu­ry in the sec­ond Test at the Queen's Park Oval.

Lendl Sim­mons who had a fan­tas­tic In­di­an Pre­mier League (IPL) with the Mum­bai In­di­ans this year, is al­so on the team, as well as the Roy­al Chal­lengers Ban­ga­lore leg-spin­ner Samuel Badree.

Sim­mons got mar­ried on the week­end in Trinidad and will be look­ing to con­tin­ue his good form. Round­ing off the six T&T men on the squad is Test cap­tain De­nesh Ramdin.

A no­table omis­sion from the team is big Ja­maican left han­der Chris Gayle who has been rest­ed for this se­ries.

Dar­ren Sam­my who was re­cent­ly re­moved as Test cap­tain will be back from his stint with Glam­or­gan from the Natwest T20 Blast in Eng­land to lead the team.

The match­es will be played at Wind­sor Park, Do­mini­ca, on Ju­ly 5 and 6.

FULL SQUAD

Dar­ren Sam­my (Cap­tain), Samuel Badree, Christo­pher Barn­well, Dar­ren Bra­vo, Shel­don Cot­trell, An­dre Fletch­er, Sunil Nar­ine, Kieron Pol­lard, De­nesh Ramdin, An­dre Rus­sell, Kr­ish­mar San­tok­ie, Lendl Sim­mons and Dwayne Smith.
