The hopes of the qualification for the World Cup in the West Indies I hope for a new injury before ODIS

The West Islands have suffered a huge setback before the three -games ODI series against Pakistan, starting on Friday, August 8, in Taruba. Bowler Young Pace Matthew Forde was excluded from the ODI home series after taking off his shoulder while trying to capture fishing during a training session on Wednesday August 6.

After losing Matthew Ford due to a shoulder injury, he brought the western Islands determinants Johann Line, a promising founder of the West Indies Academy, to the next ODI series against Pakistan.

Now, the attack and Teddy are in the west of the Indian Islands, Jayden Silz, Shammar Joseph, and Romario Shepherd and Jeddia Blides for the upcoming ODI series at home. Gudake Motie will lead the rotation section, while experienced Paceer Joseph has been restored in the Pakistan series.

However, the Caribbean team is still absent from the services of Matthew Ford with bats. In May 2025, Rami Al -Rabi had broke 16 balls against Ireland, and that was fifty faster by West India in Odis. The right mixture contains 172 runs in 10 ODI floors.

Well, they are now hoping to bounce after losing the T20i 2-1 series to Pakistan in Lauderhil. The hosts will now aim to win the ODI series in a row, after they have already overcome England twice and Bangladesh since the beginning of 2023.

However, this is just the fifth ODI series for nearly two years. Windz still faces an arduous battle in the form of ODI. The last ICC ODI – World Cup 2023 and ICC Champions 2025 – are currently ranked tenth in the ICC ODI teams.

Now, they must climb at least one place to storm the highest nine in the ICC ODI teams to qualify directly for the ICC 2027 World Cup in South Africa and Zimbabwe. Therefore, they need to overcome Pakistan sixth in the ODI home series to enhance their position.

Here is the updated ODI band in West Indies:

Shai Hope (C), JEWEL Andrew, Jediah Blades, Keacy Carty, Rostu Chase, Johann Layne, Justin Greaves, Amir Jangoo, Shamar Joseph, Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Gudake Motie, Sherfane Rutherford, Jayden Seales, Romario Sheerd
