Rampaul back in Windies squad

Defending champion West Indies recalled Ravi Rampaul for the first time since 2015 and left out six-hitting star Carlos Brathwaite in their 15man squad for next month’s T20 World Cup.

“Ravi will boost the team’s wicket-taking options in the power-play and the middle phase and will provide another option for the death (late) overs,” lead selector Roger Harper said.

Brathwaite hit four consecutive sixes off Ben Stokes in the final over of the 2016 T20 World Cup to win the game for West Indies.
