Greaves, 30, has been rewarded for his stellar run in the domestic circuit as he makes his return to the red-ball format after 10 months.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Greaves has aggregated 401 runs in just five games of the ongoing Super50 Cup with the help of three centuries. He has accumulated his runs at a mind-blowing average of 133.66 and hence the selectors feel that he can add a lot of value to the Test squad and help the team finish the ongoing ICC World Test Championship cycle on a high.<\/p>\n<p>Greaves last played a Test for West Indies during their tour of Australia earlier this year. His inclusion also provides the team with an extra seam-bowling option.<\/p>\n<p>The other interesting addition to the squad is the call-up of right-arm off-break bowler Kevin Sinclair. Sinclair will add depth to West Indies&#8217; spin-bowling stocks in the series. Sinclair, 24, has only represented West Indies in two Test matches in his career so far.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, veteran allrounder <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/jason-holder\" rel=\"noopener\">Jason Holder<\/a> has not been included as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jason has a partial thickness tear of his subscapularis tendon. He will undergo physiotherapy and strength work from the period November to December and will be reassessed in four weeks time,&#8221; Johnny Grave, CWI&#8217;s (Cricket West Indies) CEO, confirmed to the Caribbean News Service (as reported by Cricbuzz).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The medical panel was concerned that if Jason was to bowl in Bangladesh, the partial tear may become a full tear which may involve the need for surgery and\/or a significant break from cricket. It was, therefore, then recommended for Jason not to travel to Bangladesh and instead undergo physiotherapy and rehab in Barbados.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>West Indies Test Squad vs Bangladesh<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kraigg Brathwaite (Captain), Joshua Da Silva (Vice-Captain), Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Justin Greaves, Kavem Hodge, Tevin Imlach, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Mikyle Louis, Anderson Phillip, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/kemar-roach\" rel=\"noopener\">Kemar Roach<\/a>, Jayden Seales, Kevin Sinclair, Jomel Warrican<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/justin-greaves-and-kevin-sinclair-return-as-west-indies-announce-squad-for-test-series-against-bangladesh-2024-11-16-961899\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY IMAGES Justin Greaves.
