Evin Lewis withdraws from Windies squad

He will be replaced by Kieran Powell in the ODI squad and Nicholas Pooran for the T20I series.

Lewis' withdrawal is a big blow. He has established himself as a key player at the top of the order in white-ball cricket for his team in recent years. The Windies lost the Test series 2-0, and go into the ODI series with a depleted squad, already without the likes of Chris Gayle, Andre Russell and Kieron Pollard. Lewis was initially included in the squad despite declining to sign a central contract earlier this year.

The ODI series starts this Sunday in Guwahati.
