“Just tactical – we felt his skill set would be a good counter, especially against their left-handers.
He’s also a versatile option in the middle order and gives us flexibility at different stages of the game,” concluded Shai Hope.Today West Indies Cricket Team players list confirms the official playing 11 for today’s match.
