"Kraigg Brathwaite has been called up to West Indies' ODI side for their upcoming series against Pakistan in the UAE. Brathwaite has played 31 Tests since his international debut in 2011 but is yet to play an ODI or a T20. The T20I squad includes two uncapped players - allrounder Rovman Powell and wicketkeeper-batsman Nicholas Pooran. Chris Gayle is not a part of the T20 squad, having made himself unavailable for selection, while Lendl Simmons has missed out due to medical reasons. Gayle was part of the West Indies T20 squad for the two-match T20I series against India in Florida last month but missed both games after failing to pass a fitness test ahead of the first T20I."

A good warm-up for the team...Nicholas Pooran hammered 47 not out from just 23 balls, while Johnson Charles hit 42 from 32, and Rovman Powell 38 from 31, to propel the Windians to 166-7. There were three wickets each for Mohammed Naveed and Ahmed Raza.

Spinners Samuel Badree (3-20) and Sunil Narine (2-21) then restricted the UAE XI to 144-6, Mohammad Qasim topscoring with a run-a-ball 46, and Shaiman Anwar making 31 from 23 balls.

Zing will be carrying this series on virgin channel 813.

WIs will be very grateful for that partnership.
