CRICKET West Indies Masters Association (CWIMA) has announced the squad for T20 World Cup, scheduled for Karachi, Pakistan, from November 17 to December 2, 2025.
The squad will be led by former Guyana U-19 left-hander Lawrence Farnum who resides in England while it will be managed by Guyanese businessman and former East Bank First-Division batter Raj Singh.
Guyana and West Indies leg-spinner Mahendra Nagamootoo is the lone player with Test experience in the squad. Nagamootoo, who celebrated his 50th birthday on October 9, played five Tests on four different continents.
This international tournament will showcase elite Masters players from around the globe, individuals who exemplify the spirit, pride, and rich history of cricket.
CWIMA is entering the competition with a well-rounded team comprised of experienced internationals, regional legends, and emerging Masters stars, all poised to represent the Caribbean with honour.
“This squad is combination of experience, leadership, and fervor. We are privileged to compete in Pakistan, a nation renowned for its passionate cricket culture and historic venues.
Our players are ambassadors for the Caribbean and the enduring legacy of West Indies cricket.” stated Raj Singh, Chairman of CWIMA.
According to Singh, the selection of Pakistan as the host country underscores its robust cricketing infrastructure and deep-rooted love for the game.
Anticipation for the event is high, promising to foster connections among Masters Communities worldwide.
Most matches will be broadcast live on television, featuring commentary from cricket experts.
In the group stage, the West Indies will face off with host Pakistan, Canada, UAE, South Africa, and Hong Kong.
The squad is a strong mix of specialist T20 batsmen, versatile all-rounders, and adept bowlers suited for this format. Four players—Skipper Lawrence Farnum, Zamin Amin, Davindra Maharaj and Nagamootoo—previously toured Pakistan during the 2023 Global Cricket Cup.
Much of the squad was selected from the Windies Masters extravaganza in Barbados last year and the ongoing 2025 Big Man Cricket O-40s T20 tournament in Guyana.
“We boast a formidable unit that reflects the diversity of West Indies cricket, representing Guyana, Barbados, Trinidad, BVI, the UK, the US, and beyond. These athletes serve as role models, demonstrating that a passion for cricket knows no age,” Chairman Singh added.
