Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against Pakistan, scheduled to be played in Trinidad from July 25 to August 6.
The series will mark a significant occasion for Caribbean cricket with the opening match at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy from July 25-29 being the first men’s Test match ever staged at the venue, making it the 13th ground in the region to host Test cricket. The second encounter will take place at the historic Queen’s Park Oval from August 2-6.
The Men in Maroon have retained the core of the squad that secured a 1-0 Test series victory over Sri Lanka earlier this month, while rewarding strong domestic performances with the inclusion of left-arm orthodox spinner Joshua Bishop, who receives his maiden Test call-up.
Bishop, has been among the most consistent bowlers in regional cricket, claiming 91 wickets for the Barbados Pride and the West Indies Academy across the past three West Indies Championship seasons, the highest tally by any bowler during that period.
Returning to the squad is West Indies Academy graduate and Jamaica Scorpions batsman Kirk McKenzie, who earns his first Test recall since 2024 after opener John Campbell was ruled out with a left hamstring strain sustained during the recently concluded One-Day International series against New Zealand.
McKenzie performed well over the course of this season’s West Indies Championship, scoring 323 runs in six innings at an average of 64.60.
Fast bowler Alzarri Joseph was unavailable for selection due to personal reasons.
