Fast bowler Ravi Rampaul and opening batsman Dale Richards have been named in the West Indies' squad for the third and fourth One Day Internationals against England.

Daren Powell and Devon Smith are the men to miss out as the West Indies look to kick on from strong performances in the opening two matches in Guyana.

Barbados player Richards was set to make his Test debut in Jamaica against England before a foot injury allowed Smith another chance to impress while Powell has been dropped after a series of disappointing performances with the ball.

Rampaul, who last played for the West Indies in South Africa in February 2008 and has been picked on the back of good form for Trinidad & Tobago.

The two games in Bridgetown, Barbados are on 27th and 29th.

West Indies: Chris Gayle, Denesh Ramdin, Lionel Baker, Dwayne Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Fidel Edwards, Nikita Miller, Keiron Pollard, Ravi Rampaul, Dale Richards, Darren Sammy, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Lendl Simmons
