"Several senior players, including Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Akeal Hosein and Shimron Hetmyer have opted out of the tour for personal reasons, opening the door for newer faces and returning players," Cricket West Indies said in a statement. The squad announcement comes days after . Pooran, Rusell, Hetmyer and Hosein are not part of the contracted players' list. The selection committee, headed by head coach Darren Sammy, recalled Evin Lewis and Brandon King for both the ODIs and the T20Is. Lewis returns to the squad for the first time since the T20 World Cup in 2022, while King will be back after missing the T20 World Cup earlier this year due to an injury.
