3 Windies players opt out

West Indies named a 14-man squad for next month’s proposed three-test series in England, with three players refusing to travel due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, the islands’ cricket board CWI said yesterday. CWI said batsmen Darren Bravo and Shimron Hetmyer and allrounder Keemo Paul declined to travel to England for the tour that is scheduled to start on July 8 behind closed doors, subject to government approval. CWI also named 11 reserve players who will travel and quarantine with the squad to ensure replacements are readily available in case of injuries. The touring squad is set to live and train at bio-secure venues during the tour and is scheduled to arrive on June 9 in Manchester, where it will be based for three weeks before travelling to Southampton for the first test at the Ageas Bowl. The second and third tests are to be staged back in Manchester at Old Trafford from July 16 and July 24, respectively.
