ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies has announced the 15-member squad for the three (3) One Day Internationals against New Zealand scheduled for November 16-22.

This series, against a number two-ranked opponent, presents a prime opportunity for the Men in Maroon to gain ranking points and enhance the team’s prospects for automatic qualification to the 2027 ICC Men’s 50-over World Cup.

Left-handed top order batsman John Campbell returns to the 50-over set up following his recent Test success in India and strong performances in last year’s CG United Super50 Cup. He replaces Brandon King who has been omitted following a decline in form.
