Zimbabwe drop Carlisle for Windies ODI series
November 20, 2003 16:53 IST
Zimbabwe left out Stuart Carlisle and included uncapped batsman Alester Maregwede when they named a 14-man squad for a five-match one-day series against the West Indies starting later this week.
Carlisle, 31, is the only casualty from the team that lost the two-Test series 1-0 to Brian Lara's touring side last week. Harare-born Carlisle scored 38 runs in his four innings in the Test series and averages 27.26 in 98 one-day internationals.
The squad includes all-rounders Gary Brent and Sean Ervine -- who returns from a knee injury -- as well as batsmen Barney Rogers.
Maregwede, 22, scored 69 against the West Indies in a limited overs tour match in Kwekwe on Wednesday. Zimbabwe did not include injured pair Grant Flower and Douglas Hondo.
The first two matches in the one-day series will be played in Bulawayo on Saturday and Sunday.
Squad: Heath Streak (captain), Vusimuzi Sibanda, Trevor Gripper, Barney Rogers, Craig Wishart, Stuart Matsikenyeri, Mark Vermeulen, Tatenda Taibu, Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Blessing Mahwire, Sean Ervine, Gary Brent, Alester Maregwede.
