(Reuters) -West Indies recalled veteran fast bowler Kemar Roach to spearhead their attack which is missing two key bowlers for their three-test tour of New Zealand next month as the cricket board (CWI) announced a 15-man squad on Thursday.

With both Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph sidelined by injuries, the squad features an intriguing blend of experience and fresh blood, including a maiden call-up for Ojay Shields. The 29-year-old fast bowler will get his first taste of international cricket on the notoriously challenging New Zealand pitches.
