West Indies recall Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Alick Athanaze for two-match Test series against India

West Indies selectors have recalled Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Alick Athanaze for the two-Test match series against India next month.

Selectors, however, did not name former skipper Kraigg Brathwaite in the team that will visit India for the series.

The series forms part of the ICC World Test Championship and will be the first away fixture for the West Indies test team in the new cycle and the first test tour of India since 2018.

Head Coach Daren Sammy was quoted as saying by Windies Cricket website: "Playing in the subcontinent always presents a challenge and we have selected a team to be competitive in these conditions.”

“The return of Tagenarine Chanderpaul is to help transform our fortunes at the top of the order given the recent struggles, with Alick Athanaze being added for his strengths and qualities against spin bowling. Khary is included for the first time as our second spinner in what we expect to be helpful conditions," he said.
