West Indies extend side
Afp, St John's
West Indies have increased their squad to 14 for the third and fourth limited-overs internationals against Zimbabwe on Saturday and Sunday at Guyana's Bourda Oval.Left-handed opening batsman Sewnarine Chattergoon, who hails from Guyana, is the only complete newcomer of the three replacements brought into the squad. Fast bowler Tino Best and left-arm chinaman bowler Dave Mohammed are the other players that have been added. All-rounder Dwayne Bravo and left-arm medium-fast bowler Ian Bradshaw are the players that will make room from the 13 named for the first two matches. West Indies captain Brian Lara had indicated last week when he was appointed to the position for the third time that he would like to see more players exposed ahead of the 2007 ICC World Cup in the West Indies. The selections for the third and fourth matches seem to be in keeping with this policy. It affords Chattergoon his first crack at the international level, and earn Best and Mohammed recalls. The home team will travel to the Guyana capital of Georgetown on Wednesday, leading the seven-match series 2-0.
