West Indies last played a One-Day International (ODI) almost a year ago – February, 2020 to be precise – against Sri Lanka. They are set to battle against Bangladesh in the early part of January 2021 on a bilateral tour there to resume their ODI pursuits.
The squad, which toured Sri Lanka, saw the recall of Darren Bravo, who was subject to exile up until that point; it also saw the reappearance of fit-again players, Rovman Powell and Fabian Allen. However, the exclusions of Shimron Hetmyer and Evin Lewis, who were deemed unfit for that tour, were major talking points.
They eventually lost that series 3-0, however, as time elapsed, Hetmyer proved his fitness; Bravo and Powell, on their return to international cricket, looked a shadow of their old selves, while Lewis has hardly played any top-flight cricket outside of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) which was played during August/September.
