Kemar Roach returns to the West Indies Test squad for two tests against South Africa

With a knee injury he suffered in the County Championship, Kemar Roach missed the England Test series. He is back in the West Indies Test squad for the two-match series against South Africa. Alzarri Joseph has been rested for the series, and Joshua da Silva, a batsman and wicketkeeper, will lead the team as vice captain.

Kevin Sinclair, who was included in the England series squad, has not been taken into consideration due to his ongoing recovery from a fractured left forearm. In the Trent Bridge Test, a ball from Mark Wood struck him.

Born on June 30, 1988, in Barbados, Kemar Roach is a well-known West Indian fast bowler who is renowned for his quickness and dual-directional swing. Since making his debut for the West Indies on the international scene in 2008, he has developed into one of the team’s top bowlers, especially in Test matches. Several game-winning performances and reaching the 200 Test wicket mark are among Roach’s career highlights. His contributions have been vital in bringing back the fast bowling heritage of the West Indies.

West Indies squad: Kraigg Brathwaite (Captain), Joshua Da Silva (Vice-Captain), Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Bryan Charles, Justin Greaves, Jason Holder, Kavem Hodge, Tevin Imlach, Shamar Joseph, Mikyle Louis, Gudakesh Motie, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Jomel Warrican.
