ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC) — Barbadian batting all-rounder Justin Greaves and Trinidadian batsman Amir Jangoo have been rewarded for their strong performances in the recently concluded Regional Super50 by being named in a West Indies 15-man squad to face Bangladesh in the upcoming three-match One-Day International (ODI) series.

Greaves and Jangoo are the only two changes to the ODI squad which defeated England 2-1 last month, replacing Hayden Walsh Jr and Jewel Andrew respectively.

The first ODI bowls off at Warner Park in St Kitts & Nevis on December 8.

The 30-year-old Greaves, who scored his maiden Test century in the opening match against Bangladesh, had a historic Super50 where he scored three consecutive centuries, and was the second leading scorer with 401 runs at the astounding average of 133.66.

Jangoo, 27, earned his call-up after finishing as the tournament’s highest run scorer with 446 runs at an average of 89.20.

Andrew, who did not feature in the England series, will join a cohort of emerging regional batters in India to attend a batting camp at the Chennai Academy, concentrating on batting in spinning conditions.

West Indies white-ball head coach Daren Sammy says the additions of Greaves and Jangoo bring balance and dynamism to the unit.

“Greaves is capable of batting anywhere in the top six and brings that genuine all-round ability to the squad, which is welcomed at this stage, while Jangoo’s prowess in the CG United Super50 shows his flexibility to bring another dimension to our batting unit,” Sammy said.

“We continue to build towards the main target of the ICC Men’s 50-over World Cup where we are looking to broaden the pool of players even with the short-term objectives of winning series, especially at home and building momentum on the recent win against England.”
