ST JOHN’S, Antigua- Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced the squads for the three (3) T20 International matches against England from June 6-10 and another three (3) matches against Ireland from June 12-15.
The series will be the first for newly appointed T20 captain Shai Hope, who will have a dynamic and exciting squad which will see the return of Jason Holder who last represented the Caribbean team in the shortest format in February 2024.
Andre Russell makes a return to the squad after sustaining an injury during the first match of last year’s series against England in Barbados but has only been selected for the England leg of the tour.
Following an extended stint in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Nicholas Pooran asked to be rested for both series.
Test captain Roston Chase will leave the squad after the England T20Is to join his red-ball teammates for the Test Series Camp in Barbados from June 13 to 21, ahead of the highly anticipated three-test series against Australia for the Sir Frank Worrell Trophy.
Brandon King has been granted leave from the Ireland leg of the tour. Jyd Goolie, a standout performer in the inaugural West Indies Breakout League with his player of the match performance and a member of the 2016 ICC Under-19 World Cup team, earns his first senior team call-up as Chase’s replacement. In-form batter Keacy Carty replaces King.
Head Coach Daren Sammy as well as his assistants Floyd Reifer and Ravi Rampaul will also depart to join the Test Series Camp after the England leg of the tour, a strategic move as he prepares for his first outing as Head Coach of the Test team, alongside the newly appointed Chase, at the critical start of the 2025-2027 World Test Championship cycle, where the Caribbean squad is seeking to regain its place as one of the world’s leading test playing squads.
The highly experienced Rayon Griffith, who has been a widely respected and admired staple of the coaching unit for many years, will take the reigns as the lead coach for the matches against Ireland, with Donovan Miller stepping in to add support to the coaching staff.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
