St John’s, Antigua – Barbadian batsman Shamarh Brooks has been added to the West Indies A ‘Test’ squad which will face Bangladesh A in the Second Digicel ‘Test’ at the Beausejour Cricket Ground in St Lucia starting on Saturday November 12th.
The 13 man squad for the First Digicel ‘Test’ at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Grounds was reduced to 12 following injury to Dwayne Bravo.
Brooks, a Sagicor High Performance Centre graduate, has featured in 16 First Class matches for his native Barbados and also played in 11 List A matches.
The 23 year old right hander who also bowls leg spin is a former West Indies Under 19 captain and regularly captained the Sagicor High Performance Centre Team.
