West Indies have announced their Twenty20 Squad which sees the return of their Skipper Ramnaresh Sarwan. The Guyanese had a tragic injury during the England tour which led to his absence in International Cricket for quite some time. Chris Gayle and was the ODI Captain during Sarwan’s absence.

Left arm swing bowler Pedro Collins gets a recall in the West Indies side along with Narsingh Deonarine, a middle order batsman from Guyana. At the age of 31, Pedro Collins gets a look in once again for West Indies who are desperately trying to get variety in their bowling attack. Pedro who is from Barbados has 106 Test wickets and 39 ODI wickets at modest averages. Windies have picked him despite the fact that he is limited to bowling just the four overs in a match and also the fact that his batting and fielding are not that great. However in the absence of both Corey Collymore and Jerome Taylor, Collins will be more than handy to lead the West Indian bowling attack.

The other player making a comeback apart from Pedro Collins is 23-year-old Narsingh Deonarine. The 24-year-old Guyanese left hander had played 4 Tests and 4 ODIs having made his International Debut a couple of years back. Windies are placed in Group A of the Twenty20 World Championship. Infact they open the tournament by playing against hosts South Africa on the 11th of September.
