West Indies hand call-ups to James, Munisar and Joseph for T20Is against Ireland

West Indies women U-19 players Zaida James, Ashmini Munisar and Djenaba Joseph have been named in the side's 14-player squad that will play three T20Is against Ireland this week.

The selectors have opted to retain the same squad that won the ODI series 2-0 last week, with chief selector Ann Browne-John saying the group has a strong balance of experience and youth.

"The selection panel decided to retain the players who completed the ODI series," Browne-John said. "These players have shown form and performance which enabled the team to secure a series win, which the team has been striving for in recent times.

"As we continue the rebuilding, we believe we have found a competent balance in mix of senior players and the younger players selected. It is in keeping with our ethos of preparing the next batch of West Indies women's players, by combining the experienced and the newly capped players."

The side, led by Hayley Matthews and her deputy Shemaine Campbelle, will be playing their first set of T20I games since the T20 World Cup earlier this year, where West Indies were knocked out in the group stage.

All three games will be played in St Lucia's Daren Sammy Cricket Ground. The first fixture is on Tuesday, July 4, followed by matches on July 6 and 8.

West Indies T20I squad: Hayley Matthews (captain), Shemaine Campbelle (vice-captain), Aaliyah Alleyne, Shamilia Connell, Chinelle Henry, Afy Fletcher, Cherry Ann Fraser, Shabika Gajnabi, Zaida James, Djenaba Joseph, Qiana Joseph, Ashmini Munisar, Stafanie Taylor, Rashada Williams.
