Off-spin all-rounder Gareth Breese is the only complete newcomer in
the West Indies 13-member squad named for the opening two limitedovers matches of the 2002 Cable & Wireless Trophy series against
India, to be contested at Kingston's Sabina Park on Saturday and
Sunday.
Breese and fast bowler Corey Collymore will replace leg-spin bowler
Dinanath Ramnarine and fast bowler Adam Sanford in the 13-member squad
picked for the fifth, final and deciding 2002 Cable & Wireless Test
against the Indians currently in progress at Kingston.
Breese, whose father Brian is the chief executive officer of the
Jamaica Cricket Association, earns his place to consistently bowling
over the last two years that culminated with him taking 44 wickets at
20.18 apiece in this year's Busta Cricket Series. He also scored 404
runs.
Collymore has become a regular fixture in the West Indies limitedovers squad has been a proven matchwinner for the regional side in
this form of the game. He has 26 wickets at 28.61 apiece in 20 matches
and has the second best economy rate (3.93) of the bowlers selected in
the squad behind Cameron Cuffy (3.73).
West Indies face India in five limited-overs internationals for the
2002 Cable & Wireless Trophy, entitled Cricket In Caymanite, created
by Cuba-born Cayman Islands' artist Horacio Esteban.
Apart from the two matches at Kingston, the two teams play at
Bridgetown on Wednesday, May 29, and conclude the series with back-toback contests at Port of Spain on Saturday, June 1 and Sunday, June 2.
West Indies squad: Carl Hooper (captain), Brian Lara (vicecaptain), Gareth Breese, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Pedro Collins, Corey
Collymore, Cameron Cuffy, Mervyn Dillon, Chris Gayle, Ryan Hinds,
Wavell Hinds, Ridley Jacobs, Ramnaresh Sarwan.
