Looks bang average squad. Bowling is horrendous.

Appears as if WI selectors have gone with those in form over “tried & tested” players. 
 

Pooran, Lewis, Rowell, Hetmeyer, Holder, etc will need to fire big. Bowling can be competitive with Holder, Joseph, Cottrell, McCoy, Hosein, etc.  Guys like King, Myers, can click too if in form. 
 

Hoping that WI play fearless cricket!

An 11 like below would make WI another dark horse: 

 

Lewis

Mayers

King

Pooran

Hetmeyer 

Powell

Reifer/Odean 

Holder

Husein 

Joseph

Cottrell/McCoy/…

Likely to qualify as Grp B winner (so will get more practise games) for Group 2 with BD, Ind, Pak, & SA.

Only "one" team can win a tournament, genius!

Hard to win without Narine, was an absolute gun bowler for them when the won their 2 WT20s. Their bowling looks weak without him.

Both do not want to play. So not dropped.

They can always surprise just like cornered tigers without rizzu bhai.
