The ODI squad at the West Indies closed the horns with the English team in May-June. Only Romario Shepherd Alazari has come as a replacement of Joseph.
Pacer Alzarri Joseph is being properly managed by CWI, and has been given an extended rest to continue the workload management program.

Under the leadership of Shai Hope, the Windies squad consists of the choice of Shamar Joseph, Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Goodkesh Moti, Sherfen Rutherford, and Jeden Seal, which all are able to win the match for the Caribbean team.
