KINGSTON, Jamaica – Cricket West Indies (CWI) today announced the 16-member squad for the upcoming five-match T20 International (T20I) Series against Australia, to be played from July 20–28 at Sabina Park in Jamaica and Warner Park in St. Kitts.

The squad features the core group of players who secured a recent series win against Ireland, along with exciting newcomers Jewel Andrew and Jediah Blades earning maiden T20 call-ups.

Andrew, a highly regarded batting prospect and back-up wicketkeeper, has impressed with his intent and range against spin bowling.

At just 18, he is seen as one of the region’s brightest prospects and will be eager to make his mark on the international stage.

Left arm seamer Blades who made his international debut against Bangladesh in 2024, was one of the shining lights during the inaugural West Indies Breakout League where he took most of his wickets in the powerplay.
