World Cup 2007 Samuels makes West Indies squad Cricinfo staff February 15, 2007 Marlon Samuels has made the World Cup squad despite the recent controversies ? AFP Marlon Samuels has been included in West Indies' 15-man World Cup squad despite the bookmaker cloud hanging over his head. The selectors have also sprung one surprise with Kieron Pollard, the 19-year-old Trinidad allrounder, beating off more experienced names for the final place. Much of the squad had been set in stone, but Pollard has kept out the likes of Darren Sammy and Runako Morton, while Rayad Emrit who played in the recent series against India didn't even make the reserve list. Lendl Simmons has taken the final batting slot while Ian Bradshaw, Daren Powell, Corey Collymore and Jerome Taylor are the four pacemen, leaving Fidel Edwards on the sidelines. West Indies open the World Cup against Pakistan, in Jamaica, on March 13. West Indies squad Brian Lara (capt), Ramnaresh Sarwan, Chris Gayle, Dwayne Smith, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Dwayne Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Ian Bradshaw, Corey Collymore, Jerome Taylor, Denesh Ramdin, Devon Smith, Lendl Simmons, Daren Powell, Kieron Pollard

Re: Samuels makes West Indies squad - WI Squad Couple of new names thrown in with fair bit of experience. On paper this team may not look good enough to lift the world cup but they are capable on field. There's always a double digit score around the corner when WI plays but at the same time they are good enough to cause upset results. The batting looks fantastic of course but the bowling doesn't convince me much. Taylor and to cerain extent Bradshaw are the only two I would rate but we all know they are a handy unit.
