India in West Indies 2016…..Miguel Cummins called up for first Test

Uncapped Barbados fast bowler Miguel Cummins has been included in West Indies’ squad for the first Test against India in Antigua from July 21. He was a replacement for Jerome Taylor, who retired from Test cricket earlier this week.

Cummins, 25, had been left out of the original 12-man squad for the first Test, after having made the trip to Australia for the last two Tests in 2015-16 as a replacement for Shannon Gabriel. He did not play, though.

Cummins has played 41 first-class matches and taken 116 wickets at an average of 22.56. His only international for West Indies was an ODI against Ireland in Jamaica in February 2014 – he took 1 for 42 in six overs.

West Indies squad for first Test: Jason Holder (capt), Kraigg Brathwaite (vc), Devendra Bishoo, Jermaine Blackwood, Carlos Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Rajendra Chandrika, Roston Chase, Miguel Cummins, Shane Dowrich, Shannon Gabriel, Leon Johnson, and Marlon Samuels.
