2018 West Indies Tour of India - West Indies opener Evin Lewis Withdraws from Limited Overs Squads

West Indies opener Evin Lewis has withdrawn from the squad to face India in the upcoming ODI series and will be replaced by Kieran Powell in the team, while Nicholas Pooran will replace the batsman in the T20I team, Cricket West Indies confirmed on Wednesday Oct 17,2018


Lewis cited personal reasons for his withdrawal but he had also recently rejected a contract from Cricket West Indies. Lewis's absence will further weaken the side which will already miss the services of big names like Chris Gayle, Andre Russell and Kieron Pollard among others.

The ODI series will start on Sunday and the T20I series will begin from 4th November.
