The tournament was subsequently cancelled after Pakistan withdrew from the originally proposed dates of August 20 to September 3. The matches were to be played in Harare and Bulawayo, a news agency reported.
"Ramdin was picked in the squad. He was and still is the No.1 wicketkeeper in West Indies and will continue to play a key role in the one-day team with young captain Jason Holder at the helm," said a source.
"Yes, there was much discussion surrounding several members of the squad and the future of West Indies one-day cricket, for what was to be a crucial period. But to say that Ramdin was omitted is simply not true."
With the tour of Zimbabwe off, the West Indies' next international assignment will be a full tour of Sri Lanka where they will play all three formats. The Windies last toured Sri Lanka in 2010-2011 where they drew the Test series and lost the One-Day International series.
