West Indies v England team news

West Indies team news

The West Indies will probably keep faith with the same batting line-up that racked up 218 and a convincing victory over Afghanistan on Monday.

Shai Hope replaced Roston Chase in the middle order and made 25 off 17 balls.

But, despite Obed McCoy’s impressive haul of 3-14 off three overs, he could drop out with fellow pace bowler Romario Shepherd recalled after missing the Afghanistan win for family reasons.

England team news

Sam Curran and Chris Jordan replaced Will Jacks and Mark Wood for England’s final Group B game against Namibia, but Buttler revealed the rain-shortened 11-over dynamic contributed to those decisions.

Wood will probably return in place of Curran for this clash on a flat pitch, but Jordan could keep his place if Liam Livingstone is not fully fit.

He has been hampered by a side niggle and, although Jordan has been expensive as a bowler, his batting ability may earn him another chance as an all-rounder if Jacks is again overlooked.
