Andre Russell continues to be out of international cricket with an injury. Chris Gayle had said that he would take time off cricket and would not be part of the India series. Kieron Pollard, who was named the captain earlier this year, continues to lead the side.
Speaking about the team composition coach Phil Simmons said: “We have three matches in each format, so we wanted to give each squad a chance to compete against India.”
“No disrespect to Afghanistan, but facing India will be a more difficult series, especially in the ODI. Our players really the hang of thing with the 3-0 series win and I believe we will move from strength to strength.”
“The next World Cup is in Australia (2020) and the one after that is here in India (2021) so there is a lot of preparation to be done for first for Australia, so we have given the players here a chance in this series and we know we have players outside who may be coming in later on as well, so it’s good to give those here another opportunity,” he added.
