West Indies name squad for Sri Lanka ODI series

Updated on:

West Indies named a 15-player squad for the June 3-8 ODI series against Sri Lanka at Sabina Park, with Shai Hope as captain and key returns including Alzarri Joseph and Shimron Hetmyer.

(Web Desk) – West Indies have announced its 15-member squad for the highly anticipated three-match One Day International (ODI) series against Sri Lanka, scheduled for June 3-8 at Sabina Park in Jamaica.

The series comes at the start of a crucial stage in the West Indies campaign for automatic qualification to the 2027 ICC Men’s ODI World Cup.

Led by captain Shai Hope, the “Men in Maroon” team will also be aiming to extend their unbeaten home ODI series streak to five consecutive victories, with the last triumph coming against Pakistan in August of last year.

The squad sees the return of fast bowler Alzarri Joseph, who had been sidelined since July 2025 due to a back injury, along with Gudakesh Motie who missed the series away to New Zealand back in November.

Following his impressive performances during the recent ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, Shimron Hetmyer has been reintegrated into the West Indies ODI setup as part of CWI’s strategic build-up towards the 50-Over World Cup in October and November next year. He will join the squad ahead of the third and final encounter.

Head Coach Daren Sammy says the team’s strong recent form at home has boosted confidence ahead of the series against a formidable opponent.

The squad arrived in Jamaica on May 31 following the conclusion of the 10-day training camp at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua.
