West Indies Revamp Squad for New Zealand ODI Series, King Dropped, Campbell Returns

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – The West Indies Cricket Board has announced a significant reshuffle of their squad for the upcoming three-match One Day International (ODI) series against New Zealand, commencing November 16th in Christchurch.

Opening batter John Campbell makes a return to the ODI setup after strong performances both on the Test tour of India and in domestic 50-over cricket. However, top-order batsman Brandon King has been dropped after struggling for runs in recent matches.

The 15-man squad also features uncapped all-rounder Johann Layne, and pacer Matthew Forde, recently recovered from injury, to bolster the pace bowling attack alongside Jayden Seales.

The full squad, led by Shai Hope, is as follows: Shai Hope (c), Alick Athanaze, Ackeem Auguste, John Campbell, Keacy Carty, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Justin Greaves, Amir Jangoo, Johann Layne, Khary Pierre, Sherfane Rutherford, Jayden Seales, Romario Shepherd, Shamar Springer.

The West Indies will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 3-1 T20I series loss to New Zealand. The ODI series schedule is as follows:

  • November 16 – 1st ODI, Christchurch
  • November 19 – 2nd ODI, Napier
  • November 22 – 3rd ODI, Hamilton

The series promises to be a crucial test for the Windies as they aim to build momentum and cohesion ahead of future international commitments.
