GROS ISLET, Saint Lu­cia - Left-arm seam­er Obed Mc­Coy has been added to the 15-man squad for the West In­dies Se­nior Men’s T20I squad as a re­place­ment for medi­um-pac­er Matthew Forde for the re­main­der of the five-match T20I se­ries against Eng­land in Saint Lu­cia.

Forde, named Play­er of the Se­ries in the One Day In­ter­na­tion­al leg of the tour, where the West In­dies se­cured a se­ries win, sus­tained a left thigh in­jury dur­ing train­ing on Wednes­day ( No­vem­ber 13) at the Daren Sam­my Crick­et Sta­di­um. The 22-year-old Forde will con­tin­ue to be mon­i­tored by the med­ical team as he works to­ward a full re­cov­ery.

As a re­sult, Mc­Coy, who was ini­tial­ly un­avail­able due to an in­jury sus­tained dur­ing the Caribbean Pre­mier League (CPL), has now been cleared to re­turn to play. The left-arm seam­er, who has tak­en 49 wick­ets in 38 T20 In­ter­na­tion­als for the West In­dies, will join the squad on Fri­day (No­vem­ber 15), ahead of the back-to-back match­es over the week­end to close out the Ri­val­ry se­ries.
