“Greaves can bat anywhere in the top six and brings a true all-rounder to the team that is welcome at this stage,” West Indies coach Daren Sammy said in a press release. “Janggu’s form in the CG United Super50 demonstrates his flexibility to bring another dimension to our batting unit.”
“We continue to work towards our main goal of the Men’s Over-50s World Cup, looking to expand our player pool while building on our short-term goals of winning the home series and the recent win against England,” Sammy said.
The rest of the squad remains in the expected line. Captain Shai Hope and his associate Brandon King headline a batting unit that includes Evin Lewis, Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Keacy Carty and Roston Chase. Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph will lead the fast bowling unit along with Jayden Seales and Matthew Forde. Gudakesh Motie will lead the spin bowling department.
The three ODI matches against Bangladesh will be played in Basseterre on December 8, 10 and 12 respectively. The series continues with a three-T20I series at Kingstown on December 16.
