Windies training squad cut to 24

The shortlist also excludes Brian Lara, Chris Gayle, Jermaine Lawson, Jerome Taylor.

Lara and Gayle are playing for the ICC World XI in the Super Series while Taylor and Lawson are recovering from injuries.

The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) said 29 of the 30 players accepted the invitation to attend a pre-tour camp in Barbados.

Taylor, who is rehabbing a back injury, was not required to sign since he is not available for the tour.

Lawson recently underwent ankle surgery to fix an impingment of the bone in the back of the right ankle.

He will miss the camp and the entire regional one-day tournament but the West Indies selectors expect him to be fit enough to be considered for the tour to Australia.

The omission of Marshall, a talented right-handed Jamaican batsman, comes as a minor surprise.

Head coach Bennett King has faced criticisms for pushing Marshall too fast but the Australian insists having the teenager around the squad is a solid long-term investment.

Marshall has played in two Tests and ten One-Day Internationals for the senior West Indies team, struggling badly in both forms of the game.

Both Marshall and Washington will represent Jamaica in the regional one-day tournament that begins in Barbados next month.

The shortlisted squad reads: Omari Banks; Carlton Baugh, Tino Best, Ian Bradshaw, Dwayne Bravo, Deighton Butler, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, PedroCollins, Corey Collymore, Narsingh Deonarine, Fidel Edwards, Daren Ganga, Ryan Hinds, Wavell Hinds, Sylvester Joseph, Dave Mohammed, Runako Morton, Daren Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Marlon Samuels, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Lendl Simmons, Devon Smith, Dwayne Smith.
