St. John’s<\/strong>: Regional selectors have recalled exiled left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn in a 13-man West Indies A squad for the Twenty20 doubleheader against India A this weekend.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old Benn has not played in West Indies colours for more than a year following disciplinary problems during last year’s World Cup on the Asian subcontinent.<\/p>\n

While the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has not been specific about his shortcomings, chief selector Clyde Butts said last year that Benn “did not have a very good report from the World Cup” and hoped the player could “reform” to show he was serious about West Indies cricket.<\/p>\n

Benn, boasting a gangling six-foot seven-inch frame, was the regional side’s frontline spinner up until the World Cup.<\/p>\n

He snatched 12 wickets in six games at the showpiece but was promptly dropped in favour of right-arm leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo.<\/p>\n

Since then, Benn has slid further down the pecking order with the emergence of off-spinner Shane Shillingford and the arrival on the scene of mystery off-spinner Sunil Narine.<\/p>\n

His call-up to the West Indies Aside comes after he was snubbed for the three-Test series against the Indians, despite 45 wickets in the regional four-day championship this season.<\/p>\n

He will be part of a side captained by Test opener Kieran Powell and which also includes Krishmar Santokie, Garey Mathurin, Christopher Barnwell and Danza Hyatt, all of whom have already played for senior West Indies.<\/p>\n

Both weekend matches will be played at Queen’s Park Oval at Port of Spain.<\/p>\n

West Indies A won the “Test” series 2-1 after crushing India A by ten wickets in St. Lucia Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The squad: <\/p>\n

Kieran Powell (captain), Samuel Badree, Christopher Barnwell, Sulieman Benn, Nkrumah Bonner, Jonathan Carter, Jason Holder, Danza Hyatt, Delorn Johnson, GareyMathurin, Jason Mohammed, Krishmar Santokie, Devon Thomas (wicketkeeper).<\/p>\n
