Holder, Seales back as West Indies name 15-member squad for England Tests

• ESPNcricinfo staff

West Indies have named Jason Holder and Jayden Seales in their 15-man squad to face England in a three-match Test series next month, after they both missed the drawn series in Australia this January.

At the time, Holder had instead opted to play for Dubai Capitals in the ILT20, but has won a recall after demonstrating his red-ball form for Barbados and Worcestershire this year. He was recently ruled out of the ongoing T20 World Cup with an unspecified injury, but is expected to recover in time to feature against England even as his previous Test had come last July.

Seales, meanwhile, was unavailable for the Australia tour due to a shoulder injury, but has already enjoyed success in England this summer. He has been playing for Sussex, and is the joint-highest wicket-taker in Division Two of the County Championship.

Apart from Holder and Seales, West Indies also have Alzarri Joseph , Shamar Joseph and Kemar Roach among the seamers to choose from.

Among those dropped, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, the opening batter, lost his place in West Indies' squad after scoring just 31 runs in four innings in Australia. Mikyle Louis , the leading run-scorer in the 2023-24 season of West Indies Championship, their domestic first-class competition, has replaced Chanderpaul, and if selected, could become the first man from St Kitts to play Test cricket for West Indies.

Justin Greaves, who played both Tests in Australia, has also been dropped, as has Akeem Jordan, who travelled but did not feature. Isai Thorne , a 19-year-old fast bowler from Guyana who took 31 first-class wickets in domestic cricket this season, will travel to the UK as a development player, but is not part of the main 15-man squad.

The touring squad features only three players - the two Josephs, and Gudakesh Motie - who are involved in the T20 World Cup, and will arrive in England on June 23 for a training camp at Tonbridge School.

Desmond Haynes, West Indies' lead selector, said: "The squad has been shaped with both experience and emerging talent, ensuring a strong balance as we face the challenge of playing in English conditions. Over the past year, our red-ball program has continued to develop.

"Following our victory in the last Test in Australia in January, it is evident that we are seeing the fruits of that investment. Each player selected has earned their place through consistent performances and hard work. We are confident that this blend of seasoned players and emerging faces will perform admirably against England."

West Indies will play a three-day warm-up match against a County Select XI at Beckenham from July 3. The first Test against England then starts on July 10 at Lord's, which will be James Anderson's farewell as an England player. The second begins on June 18 at Trent Bridge, and the third on June 26 at Edgbaston.

West Indies have not won a Test series on English soil since 1988 , but were victorious in the most recent Test series between the two teams in early 2022 .

Bowling arsenal strengthened, changes in the batting line-up, developmental focus: isai thorne, preparation and historical context, west indies squad for the test series against england.

The West Indies have announced their squad for the upcoming Test series against England , set to begin on July 10 at Lord’s in London. The three-match series will also feature games in Nottingham and Birmingham. Prior to the series, the Caribbean team will engage in a three-day warm-up match against a County Select XI at Beckenham starting on July 3.

Star all-rounder Jason Holder and fast bowler Jayden Seales have been named in the 15-man squad. Both players missed the previous Test series against Australia in January. Holder, who was recently sidelined from the ongoing T20 World Cup due to an unspecified injury, has shown promising red-ball form for Barbados and Worcestershire this year, paving the way for his return. He is expected to be fit for the Test series against England.

Seales, recovering from a shoulder injury that kept him out of the Australia tour, has already found success in England this summer. Playing for Sussex, he is the joint-highest wicket-taker in Division Two of the County Championship.

In addition to Holder and Seales, the West Indies have named Alzarri Joseph , Shamar Joseph , and Kemar Roach among the seamers available for selection. This bolsters their bowling attack with a mix of experience and young talent.

The squad sees a notable change in the batting department. Tagenarine Chanderpaul has been dropped after a disappointing series against Australia, where he scored just 31 runs in four innings. Mikyle Louis , the leading run-scorer in the 2023-24 season of the West Indies Championship, replaces Chanderpaul. If selected, Louis could become the first player from St Kitts to represent the West Indies in Test cricket.

The squad also includes Isai Thorne , a 19-year-old fast bowler from Guyana, as a development player. Thorne, who took 31 wickets in the domestic season, will gain valuable experience traveling with the team, although he is not part of the main 15-man squad.

The touring squad comprises only three players—Alzarri, Shamar, and Gudakesh Motie —who are currently participating in the T20 World Cup. These players will join the rest of the squad in England on June 23 for a training camp at Tonbridge School.

The West Indies have not won a Test series on English soil since 1988. However, they are buoyed by their victory in the most recent Test series between the two teams in early 2022.
