THE twenty-man squad for the West Indies’ two-Test series against Zimbabwe includes some familiar faces, but there are also a number of less well-known players included. Most of the newcomers in the squad are players who performed well in the Busta Cup.

Wavell Hinds, Jamaican opening batsman, was also called in again. The Windies will play their first Test against Zimbabwe on March 16 in Trinidad and Tobago.
