One of Barbados’ leading batsmen, Jonathan Carter, says he is “disappointed” after being left out of the West Indies One-Day-International (ODI) squad for the tour of Bangladesh.
Carter, who was captain and leading batsman for the Barbados Pride in the Regional Super 50 Cup last year, believes he should have been included in the 15-man ODI team, which includes nine newcomers for the three-match series.
“I really want to get back in the West Indies team. I’m definitely disappointed not to be in the team. Any player who has played for the West Indies already and has done what I have done before would be disappointed,” Carter told Weekend Sport at Kensington Oval recently.

Left-hander top-order batsman Kjorn Ottley has hailed his debut selection to the West Indies One-Day International squad as a well-deserved Christmas gift to himself for all the hard work put in throughout his career.
On Tuesday, the 31-year-old earned his maiden call-up to the regional ODI squad which begins its 2021 tour of Bangladesh, on January 10. The series features three ODIs and two Test matches.
Ottley dubbed his inaugural selection a “dream come true” and is eager to receive his first maroon cap as an official senior WI player.
“It’s an amazing feeling knowing that this was always my childhood dream to represent the WI at the highest level,” said Ottley.
