Lawson and Taylor named in squad to face SA

Jermaine Lawson, Jerome Taylor and Marlon Samuels have been named in the 13-man Jamaica squad to play against South Africa in a one-day practice match ahead of the five-match one-day series beginning on May 7.

Lawson, whose career has been frequently hampered by injury, last played a Test in August 2004 against England. Taylor, who was named in the Test squad earlier, recovered from a back injury. Taylor and Lawson will be joined by Donovan Pagon, Marlon Samuels, Carlton Baugh and Xavier Marshall.

West Indies have lost the Test series, with the fourth, and final, Test starting today in Antigua. This will be followed by a practice match on May 5 in Jamaica.
