St John's: Highly-rated 19-year-old batsman Adrian Barath has been named in the West Indies squad for Thursday's first Test against Bangladesh in St.Vincent.
The 13-man squad also features Jamaican seamer Andrew Richardson, who took part in the tour to England in May but has not played in a full international.
Australian-born Brendan Nash, who was not part of the squad for recent Twenty20 and One-day games, returns to the side while Trinidad seamer Ravi Rampaul, who impressed with a four-wicket haul in an ODI against India last month, could get his first chance in a Test side.
There was no place for Darren Bravo, younger brother of Dwayne Bravo, who had featured in the games against India, and all-rounders Darren Sammy and David Bernard have also been left out. Pace bowler Fidel Edwards is injured.
Barath, who scored 132 against England for West Indies A in January and enjoyed an excellent domestic season for Trinidad and Tobago, had been tipped for a call-up and should have a chance to stake a claim as the opening partner for skipper Chris Gayle.
Squad: Chris Gayle (Captain), Denesh Ramdin (Vice Captain), Adrian Barath, Dwayne Bravo, Sulieman Benn, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Narsingh Deonarine, Runako Morton, Brendan Nash, Ravi Rampaul, Andrew Richardson, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Jerome Taylor.
