The West Indies have announced their squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Bangladesh, set to begin on December 8. The team has made two key changes, bringing in all-rounder Justin Greaves and uncapped keeper-batter Amir Jangoo, both of whom impressed with their performances in the domestic Super50 ODI tournament.

Greaves and Jangoo were standout performers in the Super50, finishing as the tournament’s top two run-scorers. Greaves amassed 401 runs in five matches at an average of 133.66, including three centuries. Meanwhile, Jangoo scored 446 runs in seven matches, featuring a century and three fifties, with an impressive average of 89.20. Their strong domestic form earned them a place in the 15-member squad. Greaves has previously represented the West Indies in three Tests and five ODIs, while Jangoo is set for his potential international debut.
