West Indies have named Jason Holder and Jayden Seales in their 15-man squad to face England in a three-match Test series next month, after they both missed the drawn series in Australia in January.
At the time, Holder opted to play for Dubai Capitals in the International LeagueT20.
But he has won a recall after demonstrating his red-ball form for Barbados and Worcestershire this year.
He was recently ruled out of the ongoing T20 World Cup with an unspecified injury, but is expected to recover in time to feature against England.
Meanwhile, Seales was unavailable for the Australia tour due to a shoulder injury, but has already enjoyed success in England this summer.
He has been playing for Sussex, and is the joint-highest wicket-taker in Division Two of the County Championship.
Apart from Holder and Seales, West Indies also have Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph and Kemar Roach among the seamers to choose from.
Among those dropped, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, the opening batter, lost his place after scoring just 31 runs in four innings in Australia.
Mikyle Louis, the leading run-scorer in the 2023-24 season of West Indies Championship, has replaced Chanderpaul and if selected, could become the first man from St Kitts to play Test cricket for West Indies.
