Shai Hope Named West Indies Captain For T20 World Cup, Evin Lewis Ignored
T20 World Cup: Two-time champions West Indies named an experienced squad on Monday for the Men’s T20 World Cup, starting on February 7 in India and Sri Lanka, with Shai Hope to captain a side vastly different from the one that faced Afghanistan in the United Arab Emirates.
Batters Johnson Charles, Shimron Hetmyer, and Brandon King are the only top-order players carried over from the UAE series, though the pace bowling unit remains largely unchanged. Hard-hitting Guyanese batter Quentin Sampson has earned selection despite managing just 35 runs across three innings in T20Is.
Sampson, 25, was backed on the strength of his 2025 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) form, where he scored 241 runs in nine innings for Guyana Amazon Warriors at a strike rate of 151.57 to finish as the franchise's third-highest run-getter.
