Akeal Hosein To Lead Five Uncapped Players Squad For Nepal T20Is
Nepal T20Is: West Indies have announced a 15-member squad featuring five uncapped players for their upcoming three-match T20I series against Nepal in Sharjah later this month.
With several senior names, including regular captain Shai Hope, rested, the team will be led by left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein, who will captain the West Indies for the first time in any format.
The newcomers include top-order batter Ackeem Auguste, batting allrounder Navin Bidaisee, legspinner Zishan Motara, left-arm quick Ramon Simmonds, and wicketkeeper-batter Amir Jangoo. Batter Karima Gore has also earned a call-up; he previously represented USA in eight T20Is but is yet to play for West Indies. Gore caught the selectors’ attention during CPL 2025, where he scored 219 runs in 11 matches for Antigua and Barbuda Falcons.
