West Indies A Captain David Bernard Jr won the toss and asked Pakistan A to bat first in the opening Digicel Twenty20 at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground.
Windies A left Krishmar Santokie and Devendra Bishoo on the bench while Pakistan A left out Usman Arshad, Yasir Arafat, Tabish Khan and Shan Masood.
The conditions are slightly overcast but the match – being played under lights – will start on time at 6:30 thought it is expected that there will be some rain interruptions. It could be the main reason for Windies A opting to field first on a track that looks quite placid and batsman friendly.
Windies A XI: David Bernard Jr, Jason Holder, Miles Bascombe, Devendra Bishoo, Johnson Charles, Kirk Edwards, Andre Fletcher (wicketkeeper), Jonathan Foo, Danza Hyatt, Nikita Miller, Ashley Nurse, Ravi Rampaul
On the bench: Krishmar Santokie and Devendra Bishoo.
Pakistan A XI: Faisal Iqbal (Captain), Khurram Manzoor, Umair Khan, Abid Ali, Yasir Shah, Amer Sajjad, Sarfraz Ahmad (wicketkeeper), Zulfiqar Babar, Junaid Khan, Anwar Ali, Muhammed Rameez
On the bench: Usman Arshad, Yasir Arafat, Tabish Khan, Shan Masood
