The West Indies cricket selectors have named an inexperienced 15-man squad for the forthcoming International Cricket Council Champions Trophy.
None of the 13 players who boycotted the recent Test series against Bangladesh because of a pay dispute with the West Indies Cricket Board, have been selected.
Batsman Floyd Reifer continues as captain of the makeshift Windies side with Darren Sammy as the vice captain.
Pace bowler Daren Powell of Jamaica earns a recall for the first time since he was dropped after England\'s tour of the Caribbean earlier this year.
The squad includes rookie batsman Royston Crandon and Chadwick Walton as the wicketkeeper.
The remaining members of the team are David Bernard, Tino Best, Travis Dowlin, Andre Fletcher, Nikita Miller, Kieran Powell, Dale Richards, Kemar Roache, Devon Smith and Gavin Tonge.
The Champions Trophy begins in South Africa on September 22, 2009, with West Indies facing Pakistan in Johannesburg the following day.
