West Indies name squad for PAK ODIs, Romario Shepherd makes comeback
West Indies have announced their squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Pakistan, with all-rounder Romario Shepherd making his return to the format.

The upcoming matches against teams like Pakistan, who are ranked higher, provide crucial opportunities to earn valuable ranking points to improve our standing ahead of the World Cup,â head coach Daren Sammy said.
The first ODI will be held on August 8 in Trinidad, followed by the second and third on August 10 and 12 respectively at the same venue.
