West Indies are set to begin their preparation for the two-match Test series against India scheduled to be held in July. Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Friday announced an 18-member squad for the preparatory camp ahead of the much-awaited series.

West Indies’ red-ball specialist batter Kraigg Brathwaite will continue to lead the side. With West Indies currently playing in the ICC World Cup qualifiers, some senior members have not been named in the squad for the camp.
