Young Grenadian pacer Nelon Pascal will miss the West Indies ‘A’ team’s tour game against England next week because of injury.
Barbadian Kevin McClean, a 20 year old pacer, will replace him.
McLean joins a 12-member squad that includes five players with senior international experiences Darren Sammy, Lendl Simmons, Kemar Roach, Amit Jaggernauth and Leon Johnson.
Adrian Barath, Darren Bavo and Kieran Powell, all of whom represented young West Indies at the Under-19 Cricket World Cup in Malaysia last year are also in the squad.
The squad also includes Jamaica’s leg-spinner Gavin Wallace, who made his senior debut against the Leeward Islands in the first-round of the regional four-day tournament over a week ago in St Kitts.
He had a dream debut, taking a record eight-wicket haul to lead Jamaica to victory on the third day.
