![]() | Windies make one-day changes ![]() Powell was retained after success in Australia The West Indies selectors have made seven changes to their one-day squad for the opening two matches of the seven match series against South Africa. Only seven of the players who played in a one-day series in Australia in January and February were named in a 14-man squad. The only player who has not previously played in a one-day international is Jamaican opening batsman Leon Garrick, who made his Test debut in the fifth Test at Sabina Park. The first one-day international will be at Sabina Park on Saturday and the second in St Johns, Antigua, on 2 May. The only survivors from a triangular series in Australia in which West Indies were runners-up to the host nation after reaching the finals ahead of Zimbabwe are Brian Lara, Ricardo Powell, Wavell Hinds, Marlon Samuels, Ridley Jacobs, Cameron Cuffy and Nixon McLean. South Africa, meanwhile, are likely to call for a replacement after all-rounder Goolam Bodi suffered a broken finger playing in a Lancashire league game in England on Saturday, the day he was due to fly to the West Indies. The uncapped Bodi himself had been selected as a replacement for Nicky Boje, who returned home to have a shoulder operation. Squad: Carl Hooper (capt), Chris Gayle, Leon Garrick, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Brian Lara, Ricardo Powell, Wavell Hinds, Marlon Samuels, Ridley Jacobs (wkt), Neil McGarrell, Mervyn Dillon, Cameron Cuffy, Kerry Jeremy and Nixon McLean. | See also: Other top West Indies v South Africa stories: Links to top West Indies v South Africa stories are at the foot of the page. | ||
