Samuels left out

-

West Indies all-rounder Marlon Samuels has been left out of their 15-man cricket squad for the upcoming one-day internatio­nal series against England. He last played for West Indies against Pakistan late last year but was then left out of the squad for the tri-series in Zimbabwe that followed. Samuels, who also bowls part-time off-spin, was cleared by the Internatio­nal Cricket Council to bowl again last week after serving a 12-month ban for an illegal action. He received the ban in December, 2015, after picking up two suspension­s in two years for the same offence. The 36-year old has played 71 tests and 187 ODIs for West Indies. The teams will play two ODIs in Antigua on March 3 and 5 followed by a third contest in Barbados on March 9.
