West Indies opening batsman Evin Lewis, who had pulled out of his side's recent tour to India, has been named in the 15-member squad for the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh.

According to a statement from the West Indies' chairman of selectors Courtney Browne, pacers Kesrick Williams and Sheldon Cottrell are also among those who have been recalled to the team.

West Indies will travel to Bangladesh to play a three-match T20 series from December 17 to 22.
