Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Wednesday (September 14) announced the squad for the upcoming International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Men’s T20 World Cup, which will take place from October-November this year. The panel confirmed fifteen (15) players who will represent the West Indies for the eighth ICC T20 World Cup 2022, which will be played in Australia from October 16 to November 13. The West Indies are the only team to have won the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup twice, in Sri Lanka in 2012 and in India in 2016.
Team India also announced their final 15 earlier this week with pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel recovering from injury and making a comeback.
Former captain Mahmudullah has been dropped from the Bangladesh squad for the T20 World Cup 2022 which will be led by Shakib Al Hasan. Bangladesh have made wholesale changes from the squad that crashed out of the Asia Cup without a win.
Parvez Hossain Emon, Anamul Haque, Mahedi Hasan and Mohammad Naim, all of whom were part of the Asia Cup squad, miss out on the flight to Australia. The Tigers will also be without the services of two of their experienced middle-order batters in Mushfiqur Rahim, who retired from the format after the Asia Cup, and Mahmudullah.
The T20 World Cup 2022 begins on October 16 as First Round teams do battle, with the final held at the MCG on November 13.
