Obed McCoy added to West Indies squad for last two England T20Is
McCoy, a left-arm fast bowler, made his international debut against India in October last year, and has four wickets from two ODIs. He is uncapped in the other two formats.
Now, McCoy may be in line to make his T20I debut, after all-rounder Andre Russell pulled out of the series "due to an adverse reaction to a medical procedure done in Dubai before he flew to the Caribbean," according to a Cricket West Indies media release on 4 March.
