Nicholas Pooran has been named the new white-ball skipper of the West Indies for the upcoming One-day International series against the Netherlands and Pakistan, even as charismatic all-rounder Jason Holder has been rested for the away tours. West Indies will tour Netherlands and Pakistan to play three-match ODI series against the two sides respectively. Their series against the Netherlands will be the first ever between the two sides. The two series will be a part of the ICC Men`s Cricket World Cup Super League.
The assignments will also be a big chance for Pooran to stamp his authority after the retirement of his predecessor Kieron Pollard. Three new faces have got chance in the 15-member squad -- fast bowlers Jayden Seales and Shermon Lewis, as well as batter Keacy Carty. Carty has become the first player from St. Maarten to be selected for the West Indies Men`s side.
