The West Indies have made two injury-enforced changes to their squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Bangladesh at home. Pacers Marquino Mindley and Jediah Blades have been called up to replace injured seamers Matthew Forde and Shamar Joseph.
Forde and Joseph were ruled out due to injuries sustained in recent matches. Forde is recovering from a thigh injury picked up against England last month, while Joseph is dealing with shin splints from the recent Test series against Bangladesh. Their absence prompted the inclusion of Mindley and Blades in the 15-member squad.
