Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales struck early for the West Indies as Pakistan reached 34 for two in a rain-shortened morning session after they were put in to bat on the opening day of the first Test of

Rain is forecast throughout the first Test and is in keeping with this Pakistan sojourn through the Caribbean which has already been severely disrupted by inclement weather.

Just one fixture of the scheduled four-match T20 International series in Barbados and Guyana was completed with Pakistan prevailing by seven runs in that encounter at Providence.

Mindful of pitch conditions which are expected to favour spinners later in the match, the West Indies opted for left-arm orthodox slow bowler Jomel Warrican over established off-spinner Rahkeem Cornwall in their final eleven.

Nkrumah Bonner also returns to the team in place of Shai Hope in the middle order after he suffered a concussion and was ruled out of the remainder of the South Africa series after being struck on the helmet by a bouncer from fast bowler Anrich Nortje.

Pakistan's line-up shows no surprises as leg-spinner Yasir Shah reclaims his spot after missing the campaign against Zimbabwe in Harare in which the visitors thrashed the hosts by an innings in both matches.

Mohammad Abbas is also back in the team to bolster a seam attack which also includes Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hasan Ali.
