West Indies cricket board named the squad for the tri-series against hosts Ireland and Bangladesh in May and explosive openers Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis were both left out of the squad as the teams prepare for the upcoming World Cup in England.
Windies Test wicket-keeper Shane Dowrich will make his ODI debut in the series. Unavailability of players due to IPL matches was one of the reason for this squad not being the one for the World Cup.
