Charles and Athanaze Step In for Injured King and Hetmyer in Pakistan T20Is

West Indies have made two changes to their T20I squad for the upcoming series against Pakistan, with Johnson Charles and Alick Athanaze called up as replacements. The duo comes in for Brandon King and Shimron Hetmyer, both of whom have been sidelined due to injuries.

King, a regular at the top of the order, sustained an injury during the team’s recent training session and was ruled out to prevent further aggravation. Hetmyer, meanwhile, has been dealing with a fitness concern that forced the selectors to rest him for the series.

Charles, an experienced T20 campaigner known for his aggressive batting, is expected to strengthen the top order, while Athanaze, who has impressed in domestic cricket and recent international appearances, adds depth to the middle order.

The West Indies will hope the changes do not disrupt their momentum as they prepare to face a spirited Pakistan side in a high-stakes T20I contest.
