Stoneman, woakes and mason crane all called up to the test squad at the expense of finn, dawson and Jennings.
As an aside, west indies cricket will never return to its halcyon days until they have a complete overhaul of ect. Also their pitches have gone from having that deadly shine effect to being tacky and dead, not conducive to the lethal pace bowling they used to have.
They do have some good players, keep an eye on alzarri joseph, he has pace, he's young and it'll be interesting to see how he handles a swinging ball. Our kid the captain, jason holder, not got blistering pace, but seems to keep it extremely tight, using his height, he'll also get a bit of swing. Batting wise, I think a lot of it rests on roston chase, a relative new comer to test cricket, but seemingly their answer to moeen ali as he'll be bowling spin too. Otherwise it is probably blackwood and shai hope where hope lies.
