Two potential debutants are included in the ODI squad: Teddy Bishop, a 2022 U19 World Cup graduate, and Tevin Imlach, a wicketkeeper-batsman.
Bishop was called up after an outstanding performance in the West Indies 50-over competition, whereas Imlach will remain in Australia following the conclusion of the Test series. Additionally, the series features the return of Justin Greaves from injury; he averaged 80 runs in the Super 50. Additionally, Kavem Hodge and Hayden Walsh Jr. return. In addition to having Brandon King and Sherfane Rutherford omitted from consideration, Shimron Hetmyer and Yannic Carriah were also excluded.
December saw a form resurgence for the West Indies, who triumphed in both the T20I and ODI home series against England.
Desmond Haynes, former international and lead selector, has exhorted the team to consolidate their progress and readiness for a home stand at the T20 World Cup in June while remaining in Australia.
“On the back of a series win against England, we are expecting our ODI team to be very competitive in Australia,” Haynes began.
“We have some new inclusions, who have impressed over a significant period and a couple of returning players, who we think will have an impact. For the T20I series, this forms part of our crucial preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup where we are hosts.
“We are hoping to build on strong overall performances against India and England and to keep improving as we approach the major tournament.”
The countries will compete in two Test matches as part of the World Test Championship beginning on January 17 prior to the two white ball series.
