West Indies call up Fudadin for Third Test
Left-hander Assad Fudadin was on Thursday called into the West Indies
squad for the third and final Test against Australia which starts at
Windsor Park in Dominica on Monday.
He comes in for leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo.
Middle-order batsman Kirk Edwards, who was in the squad for the
second Test, has not recovered from a leg injury and is not available
for selection.
Fudadin, a 26-year-old from Guyana, is a steady batsman, who was the
second highest run-scorer in the recently-concluded Regional 4-Day
competition where he made 576 runs at an average of 48 with a top score
of 108.
Chairman of the West Indies Cricket Board selection panel, Clyde
Butts said: "Fudadin has been a member of the West Indies A Team for a
while now and we have seen signs of development and improvement." AFP |
