Key duo return as West Indies name Test squad for Sri Lanka

Pace duo Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph have been named as the West Indies revealed a strong squad for their upcoming two-match ICC World Test Championship series against Sri Lanka.

The two players haven't featured at Test level since July in 2025, but return as part of a 15-player squad that will take on Sri Lanka in two Tests from June 25.

Joshua Da Silva and Amir Jangoo also earn recalls following strong performances at domestic level, with Roston Chase to once again lead the side as captain as the West Indies try and find some form in the ongoing World Test Championship cycle.

Antigua will host both Tests at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium and West Indies coach Daren Sammy is looking forward to the opportunity that awaits his side.

"Every Test series is an opportunity for us to grow as a team and strengthen our identity," Sammy said.

"Sri Lanka are a quality side, so we know we'll have to be at our best, but we're excited about the challenge ahead.

"For us, it's about playing with discipline, showing character when the game gets tough, and representing the West Indies with pride. The players have been putting in the work, and we're looking forward to putting on a strong display for our fans across the Caribbean."
