The
two-match
Test
series
will
be
played
at
the
Sabina
Park
from
August
12-16
and
August
20-24.
This
series
forms
the
first
of
the
six
series
in
the
new
cycle
of
the
ICC
World
Test
Championship
(WTC)
to
find
the
best
Test
team
in
the
world.
Roger
Harper,
lead
selector
of
the
senior
men’s
team
said:
“The
Selection
Panel
chose
a
squad
that
provides
both
pace
and
spin
bowling
options.
With
Roston
Chase
included,
variety
was
considered
in
the
selection
of
Jomel
Warrican.
“It
is
good
to
have
Nkrumah
Bonner
back.
The
team
does
very
well
when
our
batsmen
score
centuries
as
we
saw
against
Bangladesh
and
Sri
Lanka.
So,
I
look
forward
to
our
batsmen
scoring
big,”
he
added.
Due
to
COVID-19
protocols,
fans
will
not
be
permitted
to
attend
the
matches.
In
the
17
Test
series
played
between
the
two
teams,
Pakistan
enjoy
a
6-5
edge
over
the
West
Indies.
However,
the
West
Indies
has
a
clear
4-1
lead
over
Pakistan
in
the
eighth
series
played
in
the
Caribbean.
In
the
last
meeting
between
the
two
sides
in
2016-17,
Pakistan
ended
their
win
drought
in
the
Caribbean
by
clinching
their
first-ever
Test
series
victory
by
2-1.
