Former captain Jason Holder has been picked in West Indies’ squad to tour England after making himself available again for the Test side.
All-rounder Holder, 32, opted out of the Test series in Australia in January, instead choosing to play in the United Arab Emirates T20 franchise league.
He was ruled out of the ongoing T20 World Cup with an unspecified injury but is expected to be fit.
West Indies play England in three Tests, starting on 10 July at Lord’s.
The series opener will be England bowler James Anderson’s final international.
Fast bowler Jayden Seales has also returned to the West Indies squad, having missed the Australia tour through injury.
Seales impressed in a stint in the County Championship with Sussex earlier this season, during which he took 24 wickets in six matches to make him Division Two’s leading wicket-taker.
Uncapped batter Mikyle Louis has been included.
