Greaves, Jangoo in 15-man squad for CG United ODI Series vs Bangladesh

ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced two changes to the 15-man squad which defeated England 2-1 in “The Rivalry” series for the West Indies Men’s CG United One Day International (ODI) home series against Bangladesh.

All-rounder Justin Greaves and wicketkeeper-batter Amir Jangoo replacing Hayden Walsh Jnr and Jewel Andrew, respectively.

During this period, Andrew will join a cohort of emerging regional batters in India to attend a batting camp at the Chennai Academy, concentrating on batting in spinning conditions.

Greaves, who brings good all-round ability, is back in the squad following his splendid run of form in the CG United Super50 competition, where he notched a record three consecutive List A centuries as well as a magnificent maiden test century against Bangladesh.

Jangoo also earned selection following a prolific Super50 season, where he topped the scoring chart with 446 runs in seven innings at an average of 89.20.

Dubbed the “West Indies Home for Christmas” series, the three-match encounter will be played at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts & Nevis, from 8–12 December 2024.

Commenting on the squad, head coach Daren Sammy said: “We continue to build towards the main target of the ICC 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 added that the inclusion of Greaves and Jangoo brings balance and dynamism to the unit.

“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, while Jangoo’s prowess in the CG United Super50 shows his flexibility to bring another dimension to our batting unit.”

Shai Hope will lead the team, with Brandon King as his deputy.
