“For the Test series against Pakistan in January 2025, the focus is on building on what we have done well and transforming the learnings from 2024 into tangible results,” West Indies head coach Andre Coley said.
“Motie rejoins the squad to bolster the spin attack, while Jangoo’s selection comes on the back of his consistency across formats in regional cricket, as well as his demonstrated high level of competency against spin bowling.”
The Caribbean team will arrive in Islamabad on 6 January and will play a three-day practice match against Pakistan Shaheens from 10-12 January at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Following the three-day match, they will take on Pakistan in back-to-back Tests in Multan. The first Test will be played from 17-21 January, while the second Test will be held from 25-29 January.
