Hinds back for 3rd one-dayer

CASTRIES: Jamaican opener Wavell Hinds, who has impressed many with his all-round capabilities in limited overs cricket, has been recalled to the One-Day International side for today’s third match against Australia in St Lucia.

Hinds was drafted into the side to replace the injured Shiv Chanderpaul, who underwent surgery for a broken finger. He was left out of the original 15-man squad, which has been reduced to 14 for the St Lucia match. In addition to Chanderpaul, wicketkeeper Ridley Jacobs and pacer Jermaine Lawson have also been withdrawn from the original 15-man squad. The recall of Hinds gives the selectors another option at the top of the order after a strange bit of experimenting with the opening pair during the back-to-back matches in Jamaica. Hinds has also proven to be a useful medium pace bowler.
