St. John's (Antigua), Sep 9 (IANS/CMC): In-form Emmanuel Lett and Akeal Hosein have been included in the West Indies U-19 squad for the quadrangular series in India starting Sep 27.
Trinidadians Lett and Hosein, who were highly impressive at a youth tournament in Guyana, walked into a 15-man squad to be skippered by Barbadian Kraigg Brathwaite.
The right-handed Lett slammed a tournament-high 187 against the Leeward Islands while left-handed Hosein was consistent with the bat and with his off-spin.
Apart from hosts India and the West Indies, the Sep 27-Oct 9 quadrangular will also feature Australia and Sri Lanka.
All teams will play each other twice, with the two top ones meeting in the final Oct 9.
The bottom two teams will play for the third spot.
