West Indies have announced their T20I squad for the upcoming three-match series against England. Jason Holder and Andre Russell make their comeback to the squad, while Nicholas Pooran has opted out due to rest after a long IPL season.
The T20I leg will begin after the ODI series finale against England at The Oval and will be followed by another three-match T20I series in Ireland. However, several key players and coaches, including Russell, Brandon King, and Roston Chase, will miss the Ireland leg.
