Wavell Hinds, a young Jamaican batsman, has been named in a 14-man West Indies squad for a triangular one-day tournament with India and Zimbabwe in Singapore in September.

Hinds, a left-handed middle-order batsman and part-time medium pacer, has been groomed on the West Indies' last two A team tours of South Africa and India. He was called up for the final Test of the home series against Australia earlier this year but was not included in the team.

Fast bowler Nixon McLean, who was omitted from the World Cup squad, has been recalled while left-handed opener Adrian Griffith, who played in the last two tests against Australia, and off-spinner Ricardo Powell are also in the squad, which will be captained by Brian Lara.

Veteran Curtly Ambrose has been left out but the West Indies Cricket Board said it had been decided to alternate him and fellow fast bowler Courtney Walsh in forthcoming tours.
