West Indies suffered an embarrassing defeat in the first Test against South Africa who dominated the show and ended the Test series early. In the hopes to tie the series they have now called fast bowler Shannon Gabriel and left-handed batsman Darren Bravo for the second test match. The Test two would be played at Daren Sammy Cricket Ground on Friday. South Africa won the first Test by 63 runs on the third day itself at St Lucia.
Nkrumah Bonner was unavailable for selection after he picked up an injury in the first inning itself. The 13 man squad that would take on Proteas would includes captain, Kraigg Brathwaite , Vice Captain, Jermaine Blackwood, Darren Bravo, Roston Chase, Rahkeem Cornwall, Joshua Da Silva, Shannon Gabriel, Jason Holder, Shai Hope, Kyle Mayers, Kieran Powell, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales. Bravo has an average of 36 runs in 56 Test matches and would provide support to the batting lineup that crumbled at 97 and 167 runs in the first Test match.
