CWI announces squad for tournaments against Ireland and England

The squad features key players from recent home wins and marks the first limited-overs tour of the season.

9th of May 2025

West Indies Men’s Team will play against Ireland in three One Day International (ODI) matches scheduled from May 21 to May 25. This ODI series will be followed by a set of matches against England from May 29 to June 3, 2025. Cricket West Indies (CWI) unveiled the 15-member squad that will be participating in these tournaments.  

The squad consists of some players who were instrumental in guiding the West Indies to victory in the home series against England and Bangladesh in late 2024. It will be the first limited overs tour during this season. This tournament will grant CWI the chance to work on their ODI squad before the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027.  

Besides that, CWI disclosed that there will be some changes implemented to the coaching staff for the tour. Replacing James Franklin as the team’s new bowling coach is former West Indies fast bowler and 2012 World Cup Champion Ravi Rampaul.
