West Indies without both Brathwaites
The West Indies have dropped opening batsman Kraigg Brathwaite for this month’s ODI series against Pakistan.
Brathwaite managed a mere 61 runs in three innings during the limited-overs series against England earlier this year – and batted at a relatively pedestrian strike rate.
All-rounder Carlos Brathwaite, who will be playing for the Delhi Daredevils in the 10th edition of the Indian Premier League, has also not been included in the 13-man party.
Fast bowler Shannon Gabriel has recovered from a side strain and wicketkeeper-batsman Chadwick Walton, too, has been selected.
The Windies and Pakistanis will meet for threee ODIs at Province. Three Tests will follow.
West Indies ODI squad: Jason Holder (captain), Devendra Bishoo, Jonathan Carter, Miguel Cummins, Shannon Gabriel, Shai Hope, Alzarri Joseph, Evin Lewis, Jason Mohammed, Ashley Nurse, Kieran Powell, Rovman Powell, Chadwick Walton.
