West Indies red ball training squad member Marquino Mindley has rejoined the squad after completing his quarantine, having tested positive a week ago. He was released within the West Indies red ball training camp following a second negative PCR test result.
The bowler joined the team training at the Daren Sammy Ground in St. Lucia where it will host South Africa for a two-match Test series starting June 10.
Currently, the West Indian training squad is playing a four day “Best vs Best” match between the Jahmar Hamilton XI and the Jermaine Blackwood XI. Mindley joined the game on its 3rd day. The tall Jamaican even bowled a short spell for Jermaine Blackwood’s XI on his return.
This match would act as one of the criteria for picking the squad for the two Tests and thus all the player part of it are pushing hard for selection. The last day of the game will be played on June 3.
The 26-year-old pacer has so far played 35 First-Class games, picking up 84 wickets at an average of 25.29. He could be handy with the bat as well with an average of 11 in First-Class cricket and a best of 43.
