Remember, Pooran was handed over the captaincy duties of the shorter format after regular captain Kieron Pollard was ruled out of the tour due to a hamstring injury. Shai Hope will lead the side in ODIs.

It must be noted that West Indies will take part in the first practice session tomorrow. They are currently in quarantine for a day.
