Fast bowler Alzarri Joseph will be rested for the remaining two West Indies T20I matches against England, with Shimron Hetmyer being left out of the team.

Hetmyer has been out of form lately; he scored 0 and 2 in the first two Twenty20 Internationals against England and was not included in the third game in Grenada, which came after he scored 32, 0 and 12 in the three One-Day Internationals. Johnson Charles, who most recently participated in 44 Twenty20 Internationals against India in August, takes his position.

Prior to the West Indies' trip to Australia next month, which consists of two Tests, three ODIs, and three T20Is, Joseph has been granted a break. The fast bowler is expected to play in all three formats. The first Test of that trip is scheduled on January 17 in Adelaide.

The last two matches of the England series will be played on Tuesday (December 19) and Thursday (December 21).

West Indies squad: Rovman Powell (c), Shai Hope, Johnson Charles, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Gudakesh Motie, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Oshane Thomas
