Trinidad and Tobago’s Lendl Simmons is set to join the West Indies for their crucial ICC World Twenty20 semi-final against hosts India. Simmons is expected to replace Grenadian batsman Andre Fletcher who injured his hamstring in yesterday’s six-run loss to Afghanistan.

The right-handed Simmons was initally named in the Windies World Cup squad but was one of many Trinidadians (Sunil Narine, Darren Bravo and Kieron Pollard) who pulled out for various reasons.

Simmons had cited a back injury for withdrawing from the squad but has recovered enough to boost the regional side.

The 31-year-old opening batsman was scheduled to fly to India anyway for the Indian Premier League (IPL) which bowls off from April 9 - May 29.

Newsday understands Simmons left Trinidad immediately yesterday upon getting the call-up.

Simmons is regarded as one of the top Twenty20 batsmen in the world with an average of 31.18 from 165 matches. His T20 International batting average is 25.36.

Last year, Simmons was snapped up by the stuttering Mumbai Indians and inspired them alongside Kieron Pollard to the IPL title. The Windies will be hoping he can provide some added experience on Indian soil alongside Chris Gayle at the top.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Many people have been calling for Simmons to be in the team, well, their wish has been granted. Simmons should be a welcome boost to the squad providing that he can show some good form with the bat. The West Indies performance against Afghanistan is probably sending a message that Simmons' inclusion is desperately needed.

Unfortunately, Simmons is replacing Fletcher, West Indies leading run scorer in the tournament, so I'm not really sure it is fair to say that Simmons will be a welcome boost. Now, if he were replacing Johnson Charles or Evin Lewis, I'd agree.

AdrianDarren Bravo had a remarkable 2020 cricket season, showcasing his skills and talent on the field. His impressive performance was a significant factor in the team's success, and his dedication to the sport is truly admirable. Bravo's ability to adapt to different playing conditions and his consistent batting average made him a valuable asset to the team.
