ST JOHN’S – Fast bowling seemed to have been uppermost in the minds of the West Indies selection panel, when they chose the 13-member squad for their upcoming three Twenty20 Internationals against Afghanistan next month in St Kitts.
They have chosen to rest Jason Holder, sought to give the attack an edge with the recall of Jerome Taylor to international duty, and cast an eye to the future with the choice of Ronsford Beaton as the only newcomer in the squad to be led by Carlos Brathwaite.
The matches are scheduled for June 2, 3 and 5 at Warner’s Park.
Holder has been a regular member of the T20I squad since his debut three years ago, but Courtney Browne, the chairman of the West Indies selection panel, said the lanky Test and one-day international captain has been given a break with a view to having him recharged and ready for significant ODI contests in the next two months.
