ST JOHN’S, Antigua, (CMC) – Cricket West Indies (CWI) has unveiled a 15-man squad for the upcoming CG United One-Day International (ODI) series against Pakistan, set to be played at Trinidad’s Brian Lara Cricket Academy.

All-rounder Romario Shepherd returns after missing the Ireland and England fixtures

The three-match series, scheduled for August 8, 10, and 12, will be the final leg of the “Full Ah Energy” home season as the West Indies aim to extend their home form.
With eyes on securing a fourth straight ODI series victory on home soil, the selectors have retained the core of players who delivered wins against England, Bangladesh, and during the UK tour earlier this year.

However, fast bowler Alzarri Joseph has been rested, as part of workload management, while all-rounder Romario Shepherd returns after missing the Ireland and England fixtures.
This series marks a crucial step in the West Indies’ preparations for the 2027 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, offering a chance to test themselves against a higher-ranked opponent.
Head Coach Daren Sammy emphasised the importance of the matches. “Pakistan presents a different challenge, but our focus remains on securing automatic qualification for 2027. These games are vital for gaining ranking points and building momentum.”

Sammy also highlighted the squad’s growing confidence. “Maintaining a winning mentality and team cohesion is key, not just for now, but for long-term success.”
