The Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced the changes in the Test squad after the Caribbean side completed their white-ball tour of India. West Indies lost the three-match ODI series 2-1, but the five-match T20I series ended in a 2-2 draw after the final game in Bengaluru was washed out. Earlier, Sunil Gavaskar was furious with Shamar Joseph after the Arshdeep Singh incident.
The 28-year-old has played three ODIs and 12 T20Is for the West Indies, and he is now set to make his Test debut, thanks to his strong domestic record. In 23 first-class matches, Shamar Springer has scored 1,043 runs at an average of 32.59 and taken 58 wickets at an average of 27.87.
West Indies had also considered Ojay Shields and Nial Smith as possible replacements for Paul. However, both fast bowlers are yet to recover from their respective injuries, opening the door for Shamar Springer to make his Test debut in the upcoming WTC series in Bangladesh.
Shai Hope and Alzarri Joseph miss the Bangladesh tour
Paul had initially joined the squad as Joseph's replacement before being forced to return home because of personal reasons. Springer and Paul were both part of the West Indies white-ball tour of India. Now, Springer will hope to make the most of this opportunity in the whites.
