ST JOHN’S, Antigua — Tuesday, 2 June 2020
Cricket West Indies’ (CWI) selection panel named a fourteen-man Test squad and list of eleven reserves for the proposed Sandals Tour of England 2020. Subject to final approval of the UK Government, the West Indies will defend the Wisden Trophy in three back-to-back Test matches to be played behind closed doors, starting on July 8.
The touring party, who will all be tested for COVID-19, are scheduled to fly to England on private charters on June 8. The West Indies squad will live, train and play in a “bio-secure” environment during the seven weeks of the tour.
Darren Bravo, Shimron Hetmyer and Keemo Paul all declined the invitation to travel to England, and CWI fully respects their decision. As previously stated, CWI will not hold this decision against these players when considering future selection.
