BRIDGETOWN, Barbados- Keemo Paul will replace Shimron Hetmyer in the WINDIES Test Squad for the remainder of the Test Series against Sri Lanka.
Hetmyer will return to Guyana to recover from a recent illness. While there, he will continue his preparations to return for the two-day practice match against Bangladesh in Antigua.
WINDIES Head Coach Stuart Law said, “Hetty is a big part of our future and now we want him to recover fully from his illness, so he can be at his best for the warm-up match versus Bangladesh.”
The third Test against Sri Lanka is the first Day/Night Test to be played in the Caribbean.
The first day/night ODI was played in St. Lucia in 2006 between West Indies and Zimbabwe.
Paul who was born is Saxacalli and started his career in the Wakenaam is the first Essequibo player to be called up for the West Indies Test team.
Paul hasn’t featured in a Test for Windies but has played four ODIs and four T20Is so far. He has five wickets in ODIs at an average of 25 and an economy of 3.94. In his last outing for the Windies, in the one-off T20I charity clash against World XI, Paul picked up 1 for 24 from three overs.
Windies won the first Test by 226 runs and then managed to draw the second in St. Lucia. This series will be followed by a visit from Bangladesh, who are set to play two Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is in the Caribbean.
