WICB Media Release For immediate release Friday, November 21, 2014 Fudadin named for South Africa Test tour - Cottrell match readiness to be assessed St John’s, Antigua – The West Indies Cricket Board’s Selection Committee today named Assad Fudadin to the West Indies Test tour to South Africa. Darren Bravo, who had been offered a contract for the series, wrote to the Chairman of Selectors, Clive Lloyd, and citing personal reasons, requested that he not be considered for selection for the Test series. The 29 year old Fudadin has been named to replace Bravo. A left handed batsman from Guyana, Fudadin played 3 Tests in 2012 against England and New Zealand. In addition, the Selection Panel has requested that fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell play for Jamaica in the third round of the Professional Cricket League in order that the selectors have an opportunity to evaluate his match readiness. Cottrell will therefore not depart the Caribbean with the rest of the squad for South Africa on November 30th. Cottrell, a left arm fast bowler from Jamaica, recently returned from the West Indies A Team tour of Sri Lanka with a hamstring injury. -ENDS- SQUAD Denesh Ramdin (Captain) Sulieman Benn Jermaine Blackwood Kraigg Brathwaite Shivnarine Chanderpaul Sheldon Cottrell Assad Fudadin Shannon Gabriel Christopher Gayle Jason Holder Leon Johnson Kemar Roach Marlon Samuels Jerome Taylor Chadwick Walton MATCH SCHEDULE December Wed 17 to Sun 21 First Test – Super Sport Park Fri 26 to Tue 30 Second Test – St. George’s Park January Fri 2 to Tue 6 Third Test – Centurion Fri 9 First Twenty20 International – Newlands Sun 11 Second Twenty20 International – Wanderers Wed 14 Third Twenty20 International – Kingsmead Fri 16 First One-day International – Kingsmead Sun 18 Second One-day International – New Wanderers Wed 21 Third One-day International – Buffalo Park Sun 25 Fourth One-day International – St. George’s Wed 28 Fifth One-day International – Super Sport Park
