West Indies in India 2014-15

West Indies Name ODI Squad for India Tour

West Indies have included fast bowler Jerome Taylor and batsmen Dwayne Smith and Marlon Samuels in their 15-member squad for the five-match one-day series against India next month.

Chris Gayle, who is yet to completely recover from a hamstring injury, has missed the list alongside Kirk Edwards and offspinner Nikita Miller.

Both Samuels and Smith last played an ODI for the West Indies in March earlier this year during the three-match ODI series against England, which they lost 2-1, following which they were subsequently dropped for the series against Bangladesh.

Samuels scored 23 in the only innings he batted, Smith's scores read 24, 5 and 9 against England.

Taylor, however, makes a comeback in the limited-overs format after a four-year gap. He marked his return in Tests in the series against New Zealand after a prolonged absence due to repeated injuries kept him out of action.

Guyana batsman Leon Johnson has also been added to the squad. Johnson, who made his Test debut recently against Bangladesh, has played just three ODIs since debuting in 2008. He has been brought in as a replacement for Kirk Edwards, who scored just 10 runs in the two ODIs against Bangladesh.

The ODI series gets underway on October 8 with the first of the five ODIs to be played in Kochi.

West Indies ODI squad: Dwayne Bravo (capt), Dwayne Smith, Lendl Simmons, Leon Johnson, Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Kieron Pollard, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Darren Sammy, Andre Russell, Jason Holder, Sunil Narine, Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach and Jerome Taylor.
