Speaking about the selected squad, Dwain Gill, CWI’s High Performance Manager, elaborated on the selection process.
“This squad is the product of a deliberate and well-structured preparation and selection process. Performances in regional Under-17 and Under-19 competitions were closely monitored, with an emphasis on identifying players with specialist skills and the adaptability required for international cricket.
“In assembling this group, we have aligned their development with the style of play we expect at the senior level, ensured exposure to high-quality match opportunities and placed a strong focus on leadership, tactical awareness and individual support within their territories.”
West Indies have been drawn in Group D alongside South Africa, Afghanistan, and Tanzania. All of their group matches will be played at the High-Performance Oval in Windhoek, Namibia.
