Lead Selector Desmond Haynes: West Indies' preparations for the next ICC Men's Cricket World Cup have begun as the Caribbean side named a 15-player squad for three-match ODI series at home against England, starting from December 3.

Shai Hope will lead the team with Alzarri Joseph named as the new vice-captain.

There are two uncapped players in the squad in the form of batting allrounder Sherfane Rutherford and seam bowling allrounder Matthew Forde , who has earned his first call-up at the senior international level.
