The West Indies team is currently playing a 5-match T20 series at home against England, of which the West Indies team suffered a one-sided defeat in the first 2 matches. Now Cricket West Indies has announced the squad for the last 3 matches of this series, with the return of fast bowler Alzari Joseph, who was suspended for the first two matches. The last three matches of the series will be played at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St. Lucia on November 14, 16 and 17.
Andre Russell is out of the squad due to injury
While Alzari Joseph has returned to the Windies squad for the last three matches of this T20 series, the team’s star all-rounder Andre Russell has been ruled out for the entire series due to a left ankle injury. In place of Russell, Shamar Springer has been included in the squad as an all-rounder, who has played only two matches in his T20 career so far. Now the West Indies team will have to play very well on the ground in the last three matches to keep the series alive.

In the first match of this series against England, he had a target of 183 runs, which he achieved at the loss of just 8 wickets, while in the second match he achieved a target of 159 runs at the loss of just three wickets.
