The West Indies have announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand, starting Sunday, November 16. Opener John Campbell, who recently scored his maiden Test century against Team India, has been recalled to the ODI squad after six years.
The ODIs between the West Indies and New Zealand will be played on November 16, 19, and 22 in Christchurch, Napier, and Hamilton. Following these ODIs, the two teams will face each other again in a three-Test series in December. The visitors lost the T20 series 3-1.
John Campbell returns to West Indies ODI squad after six years
John Campbell returns to the ODI team after six years. He was included in the squad after a stellar performance in red-ball cricket, including a century against India in Delhi and 278 runs at a strike rate of 102.20 for Jamaica in the Super 50 Cup.
John Campbell will replace Brandon King, who has struggled to maintain consistency across all formats. King managed only 62 runs in the ODI series against Bangladesh, and his last half-century came against England more than a year ago. He has also scored double figures four times in his last five T20 innings. Campbell's recent success and King's poor form prompted the selectors to reshuffle the top order ahead of the ODI series against New Zealand.
The first match will be played on November 16.
The first match of the three-match ODI series will be played in Christchurch on November 16, the second match in Napier on November 19 and the third match in Hamilton on November 22.
