ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies has announced the 15-member squad for the three (3) One Day Internationals against New Zealand scheduled for November 16-22.

This series, against a number two-ranked opponent, presents a prime opportunity for the Men in Maroon to gain ranking points and enhance the team’s prospects for automatic qualification to the 2027 ICC Men’s 50-over World Cup.

Left-handed top order batsman John Campbell returns to the 50-over set up following his recent Test success in India and strong performances in last year’s CG United Super50 Cup. He replaces Brandon King who has been omitted following a decline in form.

Matthew Forde, who was called up for the T20 squad to make his first white-ball appearance since rehabilitating from injury, will once again be featured. He, along with Johann Layne and Shamar Springer, will provide support to the pace bowling unit that will be missing Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Ramon Simmonds and Jediah Blades due to injuries.
