Champions Trophy team guide (West Indies)


With the West Indian Cricket Board and its players no closer to ending its dispute with striking players over pay, the Caribbean nations will be without the stellar Chris Gayle, Shivnarine Chanderpaul or Fidel Edwards.

Instead they will be led by Floyd Reifer, who captained the side to a 2-0 Test series defeat by Bangladesh, not to mention a 3-0 one-day thrashing, in July. It's that dire.

Of the current squad, fast bowler Kevin McClean and off-spinner Royston Crandon have no international experience, but that doesn't really say much.

Expect further lows in South Africa.

Six hitters: Andre Fletcher

Death bowler extraordinaire: Darren Sammy

Toe-cruncher: Tino Best

Best fielder: Devon Smith

Who are you?: Take your pick

Squad: Floyd Reifer (capt), David Bernard, Tino Best, Royston Crandon, Travis Dowlin, Andre Fletcher, Kevin McClean, Nikita Miller, Kieran Powell, Dale Richards, Kemar Roach, Darren Sammy, Devon Smith, Gavin Tonge, Chadwick Walton (wk).
