Cricket West Indies (CWI) has named a 15-player squad for the West Indies cricket team for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Pakistan. The board confirmed the squad on Wednesday, August 6, i.e., a couple of days prior to the series-opener in San Fernando.

Bowling all-rounder Romario Shepherd will be making his return to the ODI squad after missing the series in Ireland and England a couple of months ago. Fast bowler Alzarri Joseph, on the other hand, has been given an extended rest in a bid to manage his workload.
