Obed McCoy To Replace Matthew Forde for the Remainder of the T20I “Rivalry” Series Against England

Gros Islet, Saint Lucia- Left-arm seamer Obed McCoy has been added to the 15-man squad for the West Indies Senior Men’s T20I squad as a replacement for medium-pacer Matthew Forde for the remainder of the five-match T20I series against England in Saint Lucia.

Forde, named Player of the Series in the One Day International leg of the tour, where the West Indies secured a series win, sustained a left thigh injury during training on   Wednesday 13 November, at the Daren Sammy Cricket Stadium. The 22-year-old Forde will continue to be monitored by the medical team as he works toward a full recovery.

As a result, McCoy, who was initially unavailable due to an injury sustained during the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), has now been cleared to return to play. The left-arm seamer, who has taken 49 wickets in 38 T20 Internationals for the West Indies, will join the squad on Friday 15 November, ahead of the back-to-back matches over the weekend to close out the Rivalry series.

If you want to excel in front of thousands, you'll have to outwork thousands in front of nobody.

Chinelle Henry

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

Kesrick Williams

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

Fabian Allen

We are professionals just like the men, and we want the game to grow even more so that young girls coming up will want to be a part of women’s cricket.

My take on women’s cricket is that it has grown, but it can grow a bit more once we continue to support it.

My first bat was shaped out of a coconut branch by my brother, and from that day, all I wanted to do was to be a West Indian cricketer.

The way I look at it, there are no holidays in cricket. I never stop training... rain or shine, I'm playing cricket.
