St. John's - The West Indies have announced a 16-man squad that will take on Pakistan in four T20Is that get underway at the end of March including a recalled Kieron Pollard.
Also earning recalls are spinners Sunil Narine and Samuel Badree as well as allrounder Lendl Simmons.
Batsman Jason Mohammed has earned a maiden call up to the T20I squad after an impressive ODI series showing against England recently.
Mohammed scored back to back half centuries against England and was one of the few players to enhance his reputation in a disappointing series defeat.
Dwayne Bravo is unavailable due to the injury he picked up while playing in the Big Bash League in Australia earlier this year.
Allrounder Andre Russell is not available for selection due to his one year ban handed down after he failed to make WADA aware of his location on multiple occasions.
Much like Mohammed, Jonathan Carter earns a call up to the T20I squad after having a decent series against England.
Johnson Charles and Nicholas Pooran have been axed from the squad after a string of poor performances.
