West Indies announced a 14-player squad for the three T20Is against Pakistan, with a couple of injuries prompting them to tweak their squad. Fast bowler Shamar Joseph, along with batters Keacy Carty, Alick Athanaze and Johnson Charles, have been drafted into the squad for Alzarri Joseph, Evin Lewis, Brandon King and Shimron Hetmyer, respectively.

Cricket West Indies confirmed that Alzarri has been rested for the series after playing a prominent role in their tour of the UK and the home series against Australia. The decision to rest the pacer is a part of his workload management ahead of a busy schedule of cricket for the rest of the year.

Evin Lewis, who missed the fifth T20I against Australia due to injury, has been ruled out against Pakistan. CWI revealed that Lewis will return home for monitoring ahead of the 50-over leg of the series.

Meanwhile, Shimron Hetmyer and Brandon King both sustained side strains in the fifth and final T20I against Australia in St. Kitts. As a result, Hetmyer has been deemed unavailable for the series, while King is still being assessed to determine his availability for the 50-over leg of the series, which bowls off on August 8 in Trinidad.
