The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) have named a 13-man squad for the opening two One-Day Internationals against New Zealand.

The squad shows two changes from the team that travelled to England with Darren Bravo and Fidel Edwards missing, the former having flown home early from England with a groin injury.

The West Indies lost that series 2-0 but have begun their series of matches against New Zealand strongly with a brace of comprehensive wins over the Black Caps in the Twenty20 International series played in Florida.

The first two ODIs in Jamaica are on Thursday (5th July) and Saturday (7th July).

West Indies ODI squad: Darren Sammy (captain), Tino Best, Dwayne Bravo, Johnson Charles, Chris Gayle, Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard, Denesh Ramdin, Ravi Rampaul, Andre Russell, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Smith

West Indies Comfortably Clinch 2-0 Series Win

For the first time since 2000, the West Indies clinched back-to-back Test victories at home with a five-wicket win over New Zealand in Kingston, Jamaica. In a low-scoring game, the West Indies progressed from their overnight score of 135 for four to close on 206 for five, comfortably reaching their target to claim the series 2-0.

Roach Pleased With Day One Performance

Kemar Roach has described the pitch on which he took four wickets yesterday as "not an easy [one] to bowl on." He and Tino Best took six wickets between them to help bowl New Zealand out for just 260 on the first day at Sabina Park. Roach said, "I would rate today's effort as a good performance. It was not an easy pitch to bowl on. It offered some moisture in the early stages, but then it flattened out and made batting quite easy."

Vettori Ruled Out Of Second Test

New Zealand have suffered a major blow ahead of the second Test against the West Indies, a match they must win to avoid defeat in the two-match series, after talismanic all-rounder Daniel Vettori was ruled out with a groin strain.

Edwards Replaces Injured Rampaul For Second Test

Ravi Rampaul has been ruled out of the second Test against New Zealand, which begins on Thursday, with a groin injury. He has been replaced in the 13-man squad by Fidel Edwards. Tino Best is the other fast-bowler included in the squad who didn't play during the hosts' nine-wicket win in the first Test in Antigua.

West Indies Go One Up In Antigua

West Indies won the first Test against New Zealand by nine wickets with around an hour to spare on the final evening at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. They reached their target of 102 in the 20th over of their second innings after Kemar Roach had ended with five for 60 to help bowl New Zealand out for 272 in their second.

McCullum And Guptill Give New Zealand Hope
