The West Indies have revealed their squad for the upcoming three-match T20 series against Bangladesh, featuring the maiden T20 call-up for Keacy Carty. The series is scheduled to kick off on December 16 at the Arnos Vale Cricket Ground, St. Vincent.

Carty, who has previously represented the West Indies in Tests and ODIs against Bangladesh, now has the opportunity to make his T20 debut. Returning to the squad is seasoned batter Johnson Charles, recovering from injury, while regulars Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford are absent as they join the Big Bash League in Australia.

After featuring in ODI and Test matches earlier this year, Carty has earned his first T20I call-up. Should he make the playing XI, it will mark his T20I debut.

The experienced batter Johnson Charles makes a comeback after recovering from injury, bolstering the team’s lineup. Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford will miss the series due to their commitments to Australia’s Big Bash League. Additionally, Akeal Hosein will miss the third T20 for the same reason, with Jayden Seales stepping in as a replacement for the final match.

Pacers Terrance Hinds and all-rounder Shamar Springer, who recently debuted, have retained their spots in the squad. Rovman Powell continues as captain, supported by vice-captain Brandon King.
