(Cricket news) Shimron Hetmyer has been left out of both the ODI and a full-strength West Indies T20I squad for their series against Australia next month. Hetmyer was previously dropped against England late last year.
Hetmyer, averages 32.23 in ODIs with a strike-rate of 104.55, has struggled for form against England. He only managed with scores of 1 and 2 in the first two T20Is which followed by 32, 0 and 12 in the three ODIs.
Jason Holder and Kyle Myers have also been included for the T20Is. Holder and Myers are not a part of the West Indies ODI set up to take on Australia. They have also made themselves unavailable for the Tests in order to meet their T20 franchise contracts.
The Shai Hope led ODI team contains two potential debutants, Teddy Bishop and Guyanese wicketkeeper-batter Tevin Imlach, who is also part of the Test squad. Allrounders Justin Greaves and Kavem Hodge are recalled along with Hayden Walsh Jr.
The three ODIs will take place in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra on February 2, 4 and 6 followed by the T20Is in Hobart, Adelaide and Perth on February 9, 11 and 13.
