Young fast bowler Keemo Paul has been added to the Windies squad for their dead rubber final Test against England, scheduled to start on the 9th of February in Saint Lucia. 

"With Jason Holder missing out on the last Test, Kraigg Brathwaite will take the reins of captaincy. We also welcome Keemo Paul back to the squad. He is having a good showing in the West Indies first-class championship at the moment," said Courtney Browne, the Windies Chairman of Selectors.

Paul was part of the U-19 Windies team that won the World Cup in 2016. He made his Test debut last year in the sub-continent against Bangladesh and has also played 11 ODIs for his country. He would be expected to take the place Of captain Jason Holder who is currently serving a controversial one match suspension from the ICC for slow over-rate.
