WI replaces Cummins with Paul for Jamaica Test


St. John's (Antigua), Aug 28 (IANS): West Indies have replaced fast bowler Miguel Cummins with all-rounder Keemo Paul in the 13-man squad for the second Test of the two-match series against India beginning Friday in Jamaica.

Paul, who was forced to sit out the first Test -- which India won by 318 runs in Antigua -- due to an ankle injury, but has recovered and is available for selection, Cricket West Indies said in a statement.

At Kingston, Windies will have the chance not only to win the second Test to draw the series, but also the opportunity to claim 60 points for a win or to claim their first points in the World Test Championship.

West Indies squad: Jason Holder (captain), Kraigg Braithwaite, Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks, John Campbell, Roston Chase, Rakheem Cornwall, Jahmar Hamilton, Shannon Gabriel, Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope, Keemo Paul, Kemar Roach.
