Windies call for Shillingford

2012-04-12 04:02:02

Spinner Shane Shillingford is the only new face in the West Indies squad for the second Test against Australia in Trinidad

Having suffered a three-wicket defeat in the first Test, the hosts have stuck with the men who did battle in Barbados, with the off-spin of Shillingford adding extra options.

Should he turn out against Australia, it will be the 29-year-old’s first international appearance since undergoing remedial work on his action.

Having made his Test debut against Sri Lanka in 2010, his action was deemed illegal. Once cleared to play, the Winward Islands man was selected for the Windes tour to Bangladesh last year but did not play.

Squad: Darren Sammy (capt), Kirk Edwards (vc), Adrian Barath, Carlton Baugh (wk), Devendra Bishoo, Kraigg Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Narsingh Deonarine, Fidel Edwards, Kieran Powell, Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach, Shane Shillingford
