Jamaica, June 18: Adrian Barath, who returned to the West Indies national side for the fifth ODI against India after recovering from a hamstring injury, has now been selected in the 13-man squad for the first Test match against India to be played at Sabina Park, Kingston. Barath replaces opener Kraigg Brathwaite and is the only change made by the West Indies selectors to the squad that played the second Test match against Pakistan in the third week of May, 2011.

The first Test which gets underway on June 20 will also see Shivnarine Chanderpaul available for selection in the playing eleven for the West Indies. Chanderpaul missed the second Test against Pakistan because of injury. The West Indies Cricket Board, however, said it would meet with Chanderpaul before the first Test.

“Following communications between WICB management and Chanderpaul over the past weeks the WICB management and team management will meet with Shivnarine Chanderpaul prior to the Test," the board said. "The WICB management and team management will outline to Chanderpaul the WICB's expectations of him in his future participation in the West Indies team as a player.”

All-rounder Dwayne Bravo did not figure in the squad announced by the WICB. It must be noted that Bravo had been given a break on the all-rounder’s request after being selected for the first two ODIs against India.

West Indies squad: Darren Sammy (c), Brendan Nash, Adrian Barath, Carlton Baugh (wk), Devendra Bishoo, Darren Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Fidel Edwards, Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach, Marlon Samuels, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Lendl Simmons.
