Roger Harper, Lead Selector of the Senior Men’s Team said:
“The Selection Panel chose a squad that provides both pace and spin bowling options. With Roston Chase included, variety was considered in the selection of Jomel Warrican. It is good to have Nkrumah Bonner back. The team does very well when our batsmen score centuries as we saw against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. So, I look forward to our batsmen scoring big.”

This Series forms the first of six series in the new cycle of the International Cricket Council World Test Championship to find the best Test match cricket team in the world.
