Fidel Edwards, who missed the second Test with a side strain, has been named in West Indies' 14-man squad for the third Test in Barbados, which starts on Thursday (April 1).
Edwards replaces Adam Sanford, and the likelihood is that West Indies will go into the Bridgetown Test with a four-man pace attack, all of them from Barbados. Indeed three of them - Edwards, his half-brother Pedro Collins and Corey Collymore - come from the tiny village of Boscabel. Tino Best is the fourth member of the Barbadian foursome.
Daren Ganga, the Trinidad & Tobago opener who made two Test centuries against Australia last year, has been included in the squad as cover for Devon Smith, who has a finger injury.
