Omar Phillips has replaced Adrian Barath in the West Indies A-Team for their upcoming tour of Bangladesh.
The West Indies Cricket Board announced yesterday that the left-handed opening batsman has been included in the 14-member squad, following the withdrawal of fellow opener Adrian Barath with an injured right knee.
The 23-year-old Phillips plays regionally for the Combined Campuses and Colleges.
He made his Test debut in July last year, when he made 94 in his first Test innings against the Bangladeshis in St. Vincent.
Travis Dowlin will captain the squad.
The remaining members of the squad are: Lionel Baker, Darren Bravo, Odean Brown, Kirk Edwards, Justin Guillen, Imran Khan, Brendan Nash, Nelon Pascal, Shane Shillingford, Devon Smith, Gavin Tonge and Chadwick Walton
