Rampaul earns West Indies call-up

Posted on 03/23/2009

Rampaul was a member of the Stanford Superstars team which beat England last November

West Indies have made two changes to their squad for the third and fourth one-day internationals against England in Barbados.

Pace bowler Ravi Rampaul and uncapped opening batsman Dale Richards will replace Devon Smith and Daren Powell.

Rampaul, 24, was a member of the Stanford Superstars side which beat England in last November's $20m match.

Richards, meanwhile, was named in the squad for last month's first Test but withdrew because of a foot injury.

The matches on Friday and Sunday offer Richards the opportunity to make his debut on his home ground at the Kensington Oval.

He earned his place by hitting 117 for Barbados against Jamaica last week, an innings which featured six sixes and 12 fours.

West Indies squad: C Gayle (capt), D Ramdin (wk), L Baker, D Bravo, S Chanderpaul, F Edwards, N Miller, K Pollard, R Rampaul, D Richards, D Sammy, R Sarwan, L Simmons.
