BRIDGETOWN: Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed has won the toss and decided to bowl first against West Indies in the first of the four-match Twenty20 International series here on Sunday.
Eighteen-year-old legspinner Shadab Khan, who impressed in the PSL, is making his international debut for Pakistan while Kamran Akmal has returned for his first international after nearly three years.
For West Indies, Rovman Powell is making his T20I debut as Jason Mohammed and Jerome Taylor have been missed out.
Teams:
West Indies: Evin Lewis, Chadwick Walton, Lendl Simmons, Marlon Samuels, Kieron Pollard, Carlos Brathwaite (captain), Jason Holder, Sunil Narine, Samuel Badree, Kesrick Wwilliams
Pakistan: Ahmed Shehzad, kamran Akmal, Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfraz Ahmed (captain & wk), Shoaib Malik, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Sohail Tanvir, Wahab Riaz, Hasan Ali.
Neither side have played a T20I since Pakistan beat West Indies 3-0 in the UAE last year. Both sides, however, are going through wretched runs of form, combining to win just two of their 17 games since then.
