Kieran Powell has been recalled and was named in the 15-man West Indies squad on Tuesday (February 21) for the three-match One-Day International series against England. The 26-year-old last played for West Indies in 2014 before he took a break from the game and tried his hand at baseball.
The opener has been in prolific form with 513 runs, including three centuries, from nine games in the Regional Super50 tournament. Powell returned to first-class cricket in March last year. He also played first-class cricket in Sri Lanka in 2015 for for Tamil Union Cricket and Athletic Club.
There was no place for Sulieman Benn, Johnson Charles and Sunil Narine, while Alzarri Joseph, who was first included and then withdrawn from the tri-series squad that involved Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, makes a return.
Marlon Samuels, who has now been cleared to bowl by the International Cricket Council, continues to be left out of the side. He last played an ODI in October last year but was subsequently left out of the tri-series in Zimbabwe.
The team will assemble in Antigua for a training camp before taking on England on March 3 and 5 in the first two one-dayers and will then travel to Barbados for the final game on March 9.
