WI, Scotland and Ireland announce World T20 squads: Key details

Meanwhile, Jonathan Trott will be assisting Scotland in the upcoming tournament. Here are the details.
Chase and Rampaul selected in Pollard-led WI squad
Kieron Pollard will lead the Windies while Nicholas Pooran has been appointed his deputy. The experienced Roston Chase, uncapped in T20Is, has also been included after an impressive performance in the ongoing Caribbean Premier League. Rampaul has also been impressive in the CPL with 17 wickets from eight games. This helped Cricket West Indies to include him in the side.
