WEST Indies are expected to arrive in Harare this afternoon to take part in the cricket Triangular Series featuring hosts Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.
The Windies arrive without some of their big names like Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels, wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin and allrounder Kieron Pollard but they have a strong outfit led by Jason Holder.
The tri-series will get underway on Monday when host Zimbabwe engage Sri Lanka while the West Indies open their campaign against Sri Lanka two days later.
The final will be played in Bulawayo on November 27.
Zimbabwe yesterday named their squad which included Tinashe Panyangara who has returned from a recurring back injury.
Zimbabwe will be looking to atone for their losses in the last two Test matches against Sri Lanka.
West Indies also have some points to score coming from a disappointing tour of the United Arab Emirates where they lost to Pakistan across all three formats.
However, wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich who was a late inclusion in the 15-man squad after veteran batsman Marlon Samuels pulled out, was upbeat ahead of the Zimbabwe tour.
Zimbabwe Squad
Graeme Cremer (capt), Hamilton Masakadza, Tarisai Musakanda, Malcolm Waller, Chamu Chibhabha, Peter Moor (wk), Elton Chigumbura, Sean Williams, Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza, Donald Tiripano, Tendai Chisoro, Brian Chari, Carl Mumba, Christopher Mpofu, Tinashe Panyangara.
West Indies Squad
Sulieman Benn, Carlos Brathwaite, Kraigg Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Jonathan Carter, Johnson Charles, Miguel Cummins, Shane Dowrich, Shannon Gabriel, Jason Holder (Captain), Shai Hope, Evin Lewis, Sunil Narine, Ashley Nurse and Rovman Powell.
