WI selectors pick alternates tomorrow
ST JOHN’S, Antigua: The West Indies Cricket Selectors will meet tomorrow to choose an alternative squad of players to be invited to make themselves available for the upcoming tour to Sri Lanka. Three players from the original squad of 13 invited on June 17 had signed their letters of invitation and returned them to the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) by the deadline date June 21. WICB Chief Executive Officer Roger Brathwaite said the Board was taking action to ensure that its commitments under the International Cricket Council’s Future Tours Programme would be met. "We have a responsibility to Sri Lanka, India and the ICC to honour the agreement for this Test Series and One-Day International triangular contest and we will do all in our power to meet that commitment," he said. The West Indies is scheduled to play two Test Matches against the hosts and along with India participate in a triangular one-day tournament following the Test series. The Test series begins on July 13 and the One-Day tournament on July 30.
