Shannon Gabriel returns to West Indies’ ODI squad after three years for South Africa series

Trinidad and Tobago's top-performing pacer set to make an early claim for the World Cup squad

Antigua’s fast bowler Shannon Gabriel is all set to make his comeback to West Indies’ ODI squad for the first time since the 2019 Cricket World Cup. Gabriel’s impressive performance for Trinidad and Tobago in the Super50 Cup has earned him a spot for the upcoming three ODIs against South Africa. The pacer took 15 wickets in seven games at an average of 14.2, making him a potential contender for the World Cup squad at the end of the year in India. With the team’s pool of pacemen running low, Gabriel has the perfect opportunity to establish his place in the team.

West Indies Team

West Indies’ new white-ball captains, Shai Hope and Rovman Powell, will lead the team during the ODIs, which will be played from March 16-21, followed by the T20s from March 25-28. The T20s will also mark the first series for Powell’s captaincy. The team will be hoping to bank on Gabriel’s experience, along with a talented line-up, to perform well in the upcoming series against South Africa.

The West Indies ODI squad for South Africa includes Shai Hope (captain), Shamarh Brooks, Yannic Cariah, Keacy Carty, Roston Chase, Shannon Gabriel, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, and Odean Smith. Meanwhile, the T20 squad features Rovman Powell (captain), Shamarh Brooks, Yannic Cariah, Johnson Charles, Sheldon Cottrell, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Obed McCoy, Nicholas Pooran, Raymon Reifer, Romario Shepherd, and Odean Smith.
