Da Silva and Athanaze, the leading batsman in the Championship with 647 runs, have been chosen to lead the two sides, clearly with a view to them becoming West Indies Test captains in the long-term.
King has become a regular in the West Indies white-ball sides, and this has meant limited opportunities to play in the Championship, but he has shown in the past that he has the game to transcend the formats, and he has a chance to prove it now.
Apart from Da Silva, nine players that have been members of the Test squad in its past six matches have been included.
Squads:

Joshua Da Silva (captain), Sunil Ambris, Darren Bravo, Justin Greaves,
