West Indies to train at Sabina Park today

West Indies cricketers will stage their first training session today for the opening One-Day international against New Zealand, which starts tomorrow at Sabina Park.

The training session will take place at the match venue, starting at 10 a.m.

Both West Indies and New Zealand cricketers arrived in Jamaica on Monday, after their two-match Twenty20 series in Florida at the weekend.

The Caribbean side enters the series as favourites after its clean sweep of the two Twenty20 International in Florida.

However, West Indies vice captain Dwayne Bravo plays down the favourites tags.

For the One-Day matches, West Indies selectors have called up Jamaican all-rounder Andre Russell and fast bowler Tino Best of Barbados to the 13-man squad.

The squad also includes two other Jamaicans. They are hard-hitting opener Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels.

Leg-spinner Samuel Badree and fast bowler Fidel Edwards, who featured in the Twenty20 matches at the weekend have been dropped.

Regular captain Darren Sammy will lead the squad.

The remaining members of the squad are Johnson Charles, Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard, Denesh Ramdin, Ravi Rampaul, Lendl Simmons and Dwayne Smith.
