New Delhi: The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has named its
preliminary list of 30 cricketers for the 2015 ICC World Cup, and not
among them is the experienced fast bowler Ravi Rampaul.The 30-year-old has played nine ODIs in 2014, from which he has 13 wickets at an average of 31.15 and economy rate of 5.57, but in his most recent series in India he took three wickets in two matches while conceding runs at 5.93 an over. Rampaul has featured in 90 ODIs since making his debut in 2003, taking 115 wickets.
Sulieman Benn, the 33-year-old left-arm spinner, finds a place as do Narsingh Deonarine, the Guyanese allrounder who last played an ODI in January, and slow left-arm orthodox Nikita Miller. Sunil Narine has been named too, despite not having bowled since he was withdrawn from the West Indies squad for the ODI series against India after being twice reported during the CLT20 for a suspect action.
Included in the list of 30 probables are six uncapped players: left-arm
seamer Kenroy Peters, legspinner Imran Khan, offspinner Ashley Nurse,
19-year-old fast bowler Marquino Mindley, left-hand opener Evin Lewis
and allrounder Jonathan Carter, who turned heads with a brisk century in
this year's Champions League Twenty20 for Barbados Tridents.
West
Indies are in Pool B at the World Cup, along with Ireland, Pakistan,
Zimbabwe, South Africa, India and UAE. They play their first match
against Ireland in Nelson on February 16, 2015.
