Windies coach urges ‘fearless’ cricket as Hetmyer included in ODI squad vs Sri Lanka

ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC) — Shimron Hetmyer is set to appear in his first One Day International (ODI) in over a year after being named in a West Indies 15-member squad to face Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series beginning on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old left-handed power hitter, who last featured in an ODI against England on June 1 last year, missed the West Indies’ 10-day high performance training camp in Antigua due to his participation in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Hetmyer struggled mightily in the tournament, scoring just 78 runs in seven innings at an average of 13, before eventually being dropped by the Rajasthan Royals, who were eliminated in the second qualifier.
