Sunil Narine and Kieron Pollard have been recalled to the West Indies T20I squad for the opening two matches against India, with uncapped wicketkeeper-batsman Anthony Bramble also earning a call-up.

Allrounder Andre Russell has been included subject to passing a fitness test following the knee injury which forced him out of the World Cup. John Campbell, the opening batsman, takes the spot vacated by Chris Gayle who is unavailable due to playing in the Canada GT20.

Injury-plagued Andre Russell and Darren Bravo have been axed for the three-match One-Day International series against India starting next month.

Both featured in the just concluded ICC World Cup in England but had little impact in their limited appearances.

From that World Cup squad, speedster Shannon Gabriel and off spinner Ashley Nurse have also been dropped along with batsman Sunil Ambris, who was called up as an injury replacement for Russell.

Veteran opener Chris Gayle has been included in the 14-man squad after making an about turn on his retirement.

The trio of opener John Campbell, all-rounder Roston Chase, and seamer Keemo Paul have been called up.

Gayle staying on seems pointless to me...in any side after a world cup is done if he isn't gonna be at the next one due to age etc, then time to move on...4 years planning for the next one...

Russell pulled out. Still not recovered from surgery. Jason Muhammed in.

On to Trinidad for the second and third ODIs....

Gayle with 4 from 31. Reminiscent of a few of his WC innings.

WI might have a sniff here. A pair of set batters in Pooran and Lewis and ahead of the game with only three wickets down.

Maybe not. A bit of a collapse has left them needing the tail to get about 9 an over for 10 overs. Can't be done.

It seems only rain can save the West Indies from defeat in this series.
