St John (Antigua), October 9 (ANI): Ackeem Auguste, former West Indies Under-19 captain, earned his maiden call as West Indies have announced their squads for this month white-ball tour of Bangladesh.
The Caribbean side will play six white-ball fixtures against Bangladesh, with the three-game ODI series commencing on October 18 ahead of the T20I portion of the tour from October 27, as per the ICC.
Hope is named captain of both squads, with the likes of Gudakesh Motie, Sherfane Rutherford, Jayden Seales, Romario Shepherd, and Brandon King also included in both formats.
There is a maiden ODI call-up for former West Indies Under-19 captain Ackeem Auguste, with experienced top-order batter Evin Lewis to skip the tour as he continues his recovery from a wrist injury. Ackeem featured in the 2022 U19 World Cup, scoring 57 runs in one inning across two matches.
The fixtures will form an important part of the West Indies preparation for next year ICC Men T20 World Cup and the 2027 ICC Men Cricket World Cup, and coach Daren Sammy is excited by what lies ahead.
The squad assembled will strive to maintain a winning mentality and strong team cohesion, essential components for long-term success ahead of the (2027) World Cup, Sammy said as quoted by the ICC.
Facing Bangladesh provides another opportunity to earn crucial points in our push for automatic qualification to the showpiece event.
