-Sammy, Haynes believe WI can win
Cricket West Indies (CWI) yesterday morning announced its 15-man squad for the impending ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in June.
Among the 15 players revealed, five Guyanese were included: rookie fast bowler Shamar Joseph along with hard-hitting all-rounders Sherfane Rutherford and Romario Shepherd. Shimron Hetmyer has earned a recall following a bad run of form in maroon colours which led to him being dropped for the Australia series earlier this year in February. Spinner Gudakesh Motie has also found himself in the squad and will partner Akeal Hosein who is ranked among the top 10 T20I bowlers in the world.
At the squad announcement, Lead Selector, Dr. Desmond Haynes and Head Coach Darren Sammy both expressed confidence in the team and its chances of winning the world cup at home.
