Gayle Back in West Indies T20 Squad Against Bangladesh

St Kitts: West Indies will be without the services of legspinner Samuel Badree in their one-off Twenty20 encounter against Bangladesh scheduled to take place on August 27.

Badree, who is the top-ranked T20 bowler, is out with an injury and will be replaced by left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn.

Badree has picked up 31 wickets from 22 matches, out of which 19 have come from 12 games this year. Benn on the other hand, made a comeback into the Test squad after a gap of four years during the three-match series against New Zealand.

West Indies have also named Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo in their 13-member T20 squad. Both Gayle and Bravo did not participate in the T20 home series against New Zealand in July this year. Darren Bravo has been left out.
