BRIDGETOWN, Barbados CMC – Fit-again West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has been named in a 14-man UWI Vice-Chancellor squad to face Pakistan in a one-day tour match in St Lucia later this month.
The 27-year-old, a medium pacer who bats down the order, will join West Indies teammate Fidel Edwards who has also been included in the squad for the April 18 clash at the Beausejour Cricket Ground.
Bravo injured his knee during the Windies’ opening match of the World Cup and took no further part in the tournament, while Edwards has not played international cricket in nearly two years following an injury to his back which required surgery, before making a return to first class cricket this season for Barbados and taking 22 wickets.
The side will be captained by Omar Phillips who played two Tests for West Indies during the bitter players strike two years ago.
SQUAD – Omar Phillips (captain), Dwayne Bravo, Fidel Edwards, Carlos Brathwaite, Kyle Corbin, Raymon Reifer, Kevin McClean, Miles Bascombe, Kerron Cottoy, Nkrumah Bonner, Chadwick Walton, Gilford Moore, Kjorn Ottley, Shervon Penco.
Reserves: Nekoli Parris, Assad Fudadin, Jason Dawes, Kavesh Kantasingh.
