Kieron Pollard is back from injury to captain West Indies for the upcoming limited-overs series against England and Ireland.

West Indies hosts Ireland in three one-day internationals and a one-off T20 between January 8-16 at Sabina Park in Jamaica, before playing England in five T20 internationals at Kensington Oval in Barbados from January 22-30.

West Indies announced its squads Friday to take on England and Ireland.

 

“We have tried to maintain the general makeup of the squads from the Pakistan tour before Christmas, with the captain and some senior players coming back in,” West Indies head coach Phil Simmons said.

“COVID-19 has also played a part in the final makeup of the squad. The challenges in the next couple months are getting the young players in both squads to not only improve on their skills but maintain the attitude and desire we saw in Pakistan."

Pollard missed the tour of Pakistan because of a hamstring injury at the T20 World Cup.
