The West Indies selectors have retained their new-look squad for the second Test against Bangladesh starting on Friday. Batsman Ryan Hinds has been added to the team.
Barbadian batsman Kraigg Brathwaite and Jamaican André Creary, who did not play the first Test, have been released to play in the domestic three-day tournament.
The left-handed Hinds last played a Test in March in the home series against England, and was dropped for the return tour to England in May.
WICB Vice President Dave Cameron said that any player who wanted to make himself available would be considered for selection. "I cannot say (that) if any of the players changed their minds they would be back into the team for the second Test, but I think that they should be given a look at," Cameron said.
West Indies fielded a second string team at Arnos Vale Sports Complex in the first Test after their regular players withdrew from the team following a dispute with the WICB. West Indies lost to Bangladesh by 95 runs, giving the touring side their first Test victory away from home.
Squad:
Floyd Reifer (capt), Darren Sammy (vc), Ryan Austin, David Bernard Jr, Tino Best, Travis Dowlin, Ryan Hinds, Kevin McClean, Nikita Miller, Nelon Pascal, Omar Phillips, Dale Richards, Kemar Roach, Chadwick Walton.
