Haynes to take over captaincy from Ramdin

The West Indies selectors today named the replacements for the West Indies B team, as well as a new captain and vice captain for the remainder of the Carib Beer Series.

Shawn Findlay, from Jamaica, Austin Richards, Jr, from the Leeward Islands, and Patrick Brown and Ryan Austin from Barbados, are the four replacements. They come in for Denesh Ramdin, Lendl Simmons, Assad Fudadin and Mervin Matthew for the match against the Leeward Islands in Nevis, on January 23, 2004.

Meanwhile, Jason Haynes has been named to take over the captaincy from Ramdin, who will be playing in the Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh. Haynes's deputy will be Jason Bennett.

The West Indies B team, fresh from their win over Kenya in the Carib Beer Cup, face Trinidad this weekend.
