West Indies Announce Squad for ODI Series Against Pakistan
The West Indies have announced their squad for the upcoming three-ODI series against Pakistan, following a three-T20I series. The teams will face off at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, Trinidad, with the first ODI scheduled for August 8, the second on August 10, and the third on August 12.
After the T20I series, West Indies will host Pakistan for the ODI leg. Notably, the West Indies squad features Shai Hope (captain), Jewel Andrew, Alick Athanaze, Jediah Blades, Keacy Carty, Johnson Charles, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Sherfane Rutherford, and Romario Shepherd.
Several changes have been made to the squad that lost to Australia at home. Shamar Joseph, Keacy Carty, Alick Athanaze, and Johnson Charles have been added, replacing Alzarri Joseph (rested), Evin Lewis (injured), Brandon King (injured), and Shimron Hetmyer (injured).
Hetmyer and King are both recovering from side strains, with Hetmyer ruled out for the series and King's participation yet to be determined. Lewis remains unavailable due to injury and faces a race against time to recover before the ODI series.
Athanaze earns a recall, having last played a Test against Pakistan in January. Charles returns to the squad after last featuring in West Indies' 0-3 away T20I defeat against England in June. Shamar is making his T20I comeback for the first time since November 2024.
The T20I series against Pakistan, which took place from July 31 to August 3, 2025, at the Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida, saw four changes in the West Indies squad.
Alzarri Joseph was rested to manage his workload, while Lewis, King, and Hetmyer were sidelined due to injury and fitness concerns. Karty, Lewis' replacement for the final Australia T20I, has been retained for the ODI series.
The West Indies will be hoping to bounce back from their T20I series loss and put up a strong performance in the ODI series against Pakistan. The first ODI will be played on August 8 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba.
