West Indies and England are set to face each other in the three-match ODI series starting on October 31. The Caribbeans were recently in action in the format against Sri Lanka away from home and lost the series 1-2. Meanwhile, Hetmyer has made a comeback after almost a year.

The defending champions Guyana Amazon Warriors handed a thrashing to St Kitts and Nevis Patriots as they smashed the second-highest total in Caribbean Premier League (CPL) history with Shimron Hetmyer playing the starring role. Hetmyer scored a 39-ball 91 while achieving T20 history.

Shimron Hetmyer was one of the four overseas players used by Rajasthan Royals (RR) during Qualifier 2 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Ravichandran Ashwin is an essential component of Rajasthan Royals' spin attack. Ashwin adds variety to Royals' spin combination which comprises Australia's leggie Adam Zampa and India's premier leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.

West Indies lost (2-0) the last time they played a T20I series in Australia in 2022/23. However, they are carrying a winning momentum in the shortest format of the game, having won against South Africa, India and England respectively.

Team India won the Test series 1-0 against the West Indies and the two teams will now be involved in a three-match ODI series starting Thursday, July 27 in Barbados.

The only positive takeaway for West Indies was the Martin Guptill catch that Shimron Hetmyer grabbed. In a gravity-defying act, he caught an absolute screamer as he plucked the ball out of the air in the first T20I.

As soon as Hetmyer came to bat against CSK, Gavaskar said that since Hetmyer's wife has delivered, he now wants to see if Hetmyer himself can.

The Royals, who sit second on the points table, are on course for a top-two finish after they defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 24 runs.

Hetmyer's performance this season has been very important for the team

Delhi Capitals senior off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin lavished praise on Shimron Hetmyer, saying that the West Indian has done well for the team this year and his efforts are recognised in the dressing room.

Russell and Hetmyer last played in 2020 while Gayle was part of the series against Sri Lanka in March.

Talking about the decision to drop Hope, Cricket West Indies' chief selector Roger Harper said that he was not "at his best" in the longest format of the game for a while.

A group of six reserves will also travel to New Zealand to help prepare the test squad during a quarantine period and training camp as well as cover for injuries.

The explosive middle-order batsman showed glimpses of his destructive self during his 24-ball-45 knock against Rajasthan Royals. The first of his five sixes was a pull shot off Andrew Tye, executed to perfection.

Along with senior pro Darren Bravo, Hetmyer pulled out of the tour of UK and forced the Roger Harper-led selection committee to make some last-minute changes.

Besides Bravo and Hetmyer, Keemo Paul also refused to travel to the UK for the Wisden Trophy starting July 8.
