ST JOHN’S, Antigua – The West Indies Cricket Board today announced that all-rounder Darren Sammy will be the 15th player in the One-Day International squad for the upcoming five-match series against South Africa in South Africa. 

The 31-year-old is a former ODI captain and has so far represented the Windies in 115 One-Dayers. He has also appeared in 38 Test matches and 55 T20 Internationals and has been named to replace Kemar Roach in the squad to face South Africa in a five-match series starting next month.
The former ODI and Test skipper was initially overlooked in the squad announced last Saturday, but re-added after Roach was forced to pull out after picking up an ankle injury in the opening Test at Centurion last week.
West Indies will face the Proteas in five matches starting on January 16 and the full squad reads: Jason Holder (captain), Sulieman Benn, Carlos Brathwaite, Jonathan Carter, Sheldon Cottrell, Narsingh Deonarine, Leon Johnson, Chris Gayle, Denesh Ramdin, Andre Russell, Marlon Samuels, Darren Sammy, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Smith and Jerome Taylor.
