Walton called up for Pakistan ODIs

Trinidad: Chadwick Walton’s good run in the recently concluded Twenty20 International series earned him a vote of confidence from the West Indies selectors, as they picked the wicketkeeper-batsman for the first two One-Day Internationals against Pakistan, with the first match on April 7.

Walton, 31, is the only new face in the 13-member squad which lost to England 3-0 last month. Carlos Brathwaite, the West Indies T20I skipper, and Kraigg Brathwaite are the two names missing from the squad which featured in the earlier series.

Shannon Gabriel, who was replaced by Miguel Cummins in the final ODI against England due to a side strain, has been included in the squad.

Walton, who scored 80 runs from four T20Is, is the second wicketkeeper-batsman in the squad along with Shai Hope. Walton played the last of his five ODIs in January 2014.

The squad, which has only six members as carryovers from their T20I squad, will take part in three ODIs at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.

West Indies lost the T20I series 3-1, and will be looking to make amends in the ODIs. The 50-over contests will bee followed by three Tests, with the first five-day game starting on April 22.

West Indies squad for first two ODIs: Jason Holder (capt), Devendra Bishoo, Jonathan Carter, Miguel Cummins, Shannon Gabriel, Shai Hope, Alzarri Joseph, Evin Lewis, Jason Mohammed, Ashley Nurse, Kieran Powell, Rovman Powell, Chadwick Walton.
