The West Indies cricket board has announced the 14 member squad going on the England tour in July
Captaincy of the team is in the hands of Jason Holder. Three big players have refused to go on this tour, due to which the team selectors had to consider the team selection afresh.
The West Indies Cricket Board had already made it clear that the team would go on a tour of England and players who want to withdraw their names from the tour can inform the board about it.
West Indies team’s star players Shimron Hetmyer, Darren Bravo and Keemo Paul have refused to go to England to play the series.
