All Stories for West Indies World Cup Squad
Carlos Brathwaite, West Indies all-rounder, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Brathwaite will hope to move on from 2016 success, bring more glory in UK
Grobinson •The West Indies’ emphasis on pace could relegate Brathwaite to the sidelines, especially in the earlier games. If things don’t go to plan, however, and they are forced to resort to control instead, Brathwaite could well be called upon to play an important role this summer.
Andre Russell, West Indies all-rounder, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Hard-hitting Russell looking to replicate IPL heroics for Windies
Grobinson •No chase is ever out of reach with Andre Russell still at the crease. He specializes in lost causes, and opponents dare not feel assured of victory until he has safely returned to the pavilion.
Shannon Gabriel, West Indies fast bowler, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Pace and accuracy make experienced Gabriel a daunting prospect
Grobinson •Tall and robust, Shannon Gabriel has pace in abundance, enough to match that of young tearaway Oshane Thomas. Gabriel’s experience and superior accuracy, however, should make him a more daunting proposition.
Sheldon Cottrell, West Indies fast bowler, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Left-arm pacer adds variety to bowling attack
Grobinson •His emphatic, celebratory salute has become famous. And it has been seen enough times in 50-overs cricket for Sheldon Cottrell to earn a spot in the West Indies squad.
Oshane Thomas, West Indies fast bowler, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Searing pace, awkward height make Thomas a handful
Grobinson •Oshane Thomas shot into notice with a scorching yorker that uprooted Chris Gayle’s stumps during the CPL a few years ago. Another memorable CPL dismissal was another yorker, a reverse-swinging one this time, that snaked in from off to disassemble Martin Guptill’s stumps.
Kemar Roach, West Indies fast bowler, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Skillful and resilient, Roach ready to spearhead Caribbean attack
Grobinson •No longer frightening batsmen with pace, Roach now relies on accuracy, swing, seam movement, and other subtleties. He is something of a specialist against left-handers, employing a demanding line into the batsman from round the wicket and occasionally shifting the ball away towards slips.
Fabian Allen, West Indies all-rounder, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Surprise choice will hope to justify his selection
Grobinson •Allen is seen as an all-rounder of promise and has racked up a few sparkling performances that could be interpreted as hints of greater things to come.
Ashley Nurse, West Indies bowler, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Spinner will look to silence his critics on big stage
Grobinson •Nurse is powerfully built, can bludgeon the ball a long way, and sometimes provides valuable runs in the lower order.
Nicholas Pooran, West Indies wicketkeeper, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Upcoming star will try to make a mark on the big stage
Grobinson •A member of the KingsXI Punjab in the IPL, Pooran has been contracted to a number of T20 franchises, and he has shown his worth as a quite capable wicketkeeper-batsman with the power and willingness to hit the ball a far way.
Evin Lewis, West Indies batsman, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Opener would look to make an impact on his comeback in England
Grobinson •Like his idol Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis hits the ball far and often. “I hit a lot of sixes, big sixes like him,” he said when asked why he picked Gayle as his mentor.
