Left-hander Narsingh Deonarine has been recalled after two years in
the wilderness while out-of-form openers Kraigg Brathwaite and Kieran
Powell have clinched spots in the 13-man West Indies squad announced
Thursday for the first Test against Australia starting Saturday.
The side will be led by Darren Sammy with young Barbados batsman Kirk Edwards appointed his deputy.
Fast bowler Ravi Rampaul, who played just one match in the first class championship because of injury and illness, has been recalled and joins speedsters Fidel Edwards and Kemar Roach.
"As selectors, we felt the team did a very good job in the ODIs and Twenty20s under the leadership of Darren Sammy, and we expect them to continue to show that same kind of fight and determination in the longer format," said chairman of selectors Clyde Butts.
"It is never easy, and we know the Aussies will come hard at us, but we believe we have selected a squad that can do the job and make the people of Caribbean proud. Also, we are in the first phase of a long year of international cricket and success would be a key in the continued building of a fighting unit."
