New Delhi: A fit again Keemo Paul has been included in the 13-member West Indies squad for the second Test against India.
The fast bowler had missed the series opener with an ankle injury. Miguel Cummins, who had come in as his replacement for the Antigua Test, makes way for his return.
The promising 21-year-old has six wickets in three Tests so far, to go with first-class returns of 80 wickets in 20 matches. Cummins didn’t have a great time of it in the first Test, going wicketless in 20 overs.
Cricket West Indies also confirmed that wicket-keeper batsman Shane Dowrich has been ruled out of the series with an ankle injury. He is undergoing rehabilitation in Barbados. Jahmar Hamilton remains with the squad as a back-up option behind the stumps, but that responsibility could remain with Shai Hope.
