West Indies Call-up Permaul for Bangladesh Tour

St John's: Guyana left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul was called into the West Indies squad for the first time on Saturday, for the tour of Bangladesh.

Permaul, 23, has played 45 first-class matches since his debut five years ago, taking 152 wickets at 24.59 apiece.

He has just returned from a tour of Bangladesh with the West Indies High Performance Centre, where he collected 21 wickets across the three formats of the game.

Permaul also skippered the West Indies A team earlier this year when they prevailed over India A in a home series.
