WELLINGTON—

The West Indies Cricket Board advised that its selection panel has chosen a 15-member squad for a series of five One-day Internationals against New Zealand, starting later this month.

The players in the ODI squad not currently taking part in the Test series in New Zealand have assembled in Barbados for a week-long training camp that ends next Sunday at the Sagicor West Indies High Performance Centre on the Cave Hill campus of the West Indies.

The camp will include a series of training matches against players drawn from Barbados and the Sagicor WIHPC. Lendl Simmons will arrive a couple days late for the camp due to personal reasons.
Neither Chris Gayle nor Kieron Pollard was considered for selection due to injury.

Gayle was sidelined following a hamstring injury sustained during the tour of India last month and Pollard is recovering from a knee injury.

The joining ODI players are due to arrive in New Zealand on December 21.
A squad for the two Twenty20 Internationals at the back-end of the tour will be announced subsequently.

Squad
Dwayne Bravo (Captain), Tino Best, Darren Bravo, Johnson Charles, Narsingh Deonarine, Kirk Edwards, Jason Holder, Nikita Miller, Sunil Narine, Kieron Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Ravi Rampaul, Darren Sammy, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons.

No surprises there. Have they officially given up on Shiv in ODIs? I think he can still contribute. Fair enough though, he ain't getting any younger.
