Cricket West Indies has issued a statement in which it is written that Alzarri Joseph and Sherfane Rutherford can be included in the West Indies team if the franchise does not reach the final of IPL 2024. Both Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran have been rested for this series and will join the team in Trinidad on May 27.
West Indies team head coach Darren Sammy said that we have not played together as a team since the Australia series, but we had a very good training session in Antigua recently. Now we need to integrate some of our players returning from the IPL and create some momentum in the team going into the World Cup.
