**Basseterre, [Date]** – The West Indies cricket team has announced two new additions to their squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Bangladesh. Fast bowlers Marquino Mindley and Jediah Blades will replace Matthew Forde and Shamar Joseph, who have been ruled out due to injury.
Mindley, who topped the fast bowling wicket charts in the Super 50 Cup 2024, earns his first international call-up. Blades, a member of the West Indies Academy, also receives his maiden selection after a strong performance in the regional tournament, where he claimed 14 wickets.
A statement from Windies Cricket explained that Forde requires continued rehabilitation for a thigh injury, while Joseph is dealing with shin splints sustained during the recent Test series. Joseph’s condition will be monitored before future selections. The series against Bangladesh follows a recent match where Bangladesh defeated the West Indies by 101 runs.
