Dwayne Bravo has been named in the 13-man West Indies' Twenty20 squad to take on England in Port of Spain on Sunday, marking his return to the international game after a six-month absence through injury. He had surgery on his ankle in New York in August last year after carrying the injury for two years.
Bravo last played a Twenty20 international back in June 2008 against the visiting Australians and took his first steps back to a full return when he came on as a substitute fielder in the fifth and final Test against England in Trinidad.
Andre Fletcher, Kieron Pollard and Darren Sammy, who have been impressing with their performances in the domestic regional four-day competition, are also among the inclusions in the side, to be led by Denesh Ramdin in the absence of the injured Chris Gayle.
Daren Powell, Ryan Hinds and Brendan Nash are some of the others missing from the Test squad that won the five-match series 1-0.
West Indies Twenty20 squad: Denesh Ramdin (capt & wk), Lionel Baker, Sulieman Benn, Dwayne Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Fidel Edwards, Andre Fletcher, Kieron Pollard, Darren Sammy, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Lendl Simmons, Devon Smith, Jerome Taylor
