Alzarri, Shamar return as West Indies recalls Da Silva for Sri Lanka Tests

Fit-again fast bowlers Alzarri Joseph and Shamar Joseph have returned to the West Indies Test squad for the upcoming two-match home series against Sri Lanka, while Joshua Da Silva has been drafted in to replace wicketkeeper Tevin Imlach.

Both Alzarri (back) and Shamar (shoulder) missed the previous tours of India and New Zealand but made their competitive return during the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka earlier this month.

Following Imlach’s recent struggles with the bat against New Zealand and India, selectors have recalled Da Silva, rewarding the 27-year-old for his rich vein of form in domestic cricket.

Top-order batter Amir Jangoo, who was dropped after making his Test debut in Pakistan in 2025, has also earned a recall to the side.

The two-Test series is scheduled to get underway in North Sound on June 25.

Full squad

Roston Chase (captain), Jomel Warrican, John ⁠Campbell, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Joshua Da Silva, Justin Greaves, Kavem Hodge, Shai Hope, ‌Amir Jangoo, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Brandon King, Anderson Phillip, Kemar Roach, Jayden ​Seales.
