West Indies: For the second and final Test against India in Trinidad, the West Indies have selected 13-player lineup that includes an uncapped spinner.

When the second Test begins at Queen's Park Oval on Thursday, the Caribbean team will be eager to get back on track after their miserable innings and 141-run loss to the Asian nation in their opening match of the new ICC World Test Championship cycle.

While the West Indies have mostly stuck with the team that fell to India in Dominica, they have replaced fellow all-rounder Raymon Reifer with intriguing off-spinner Kevin Sinclair in their 13-man roster.

Reifer had only two and eleven points while going wicketless in the first Test against India, but he will be travelling with the team to Trinidad and might still be utilized if an injury occurs.

With the 23-year-old having already played for the team in seven ODIs and six T20Is, with his most recent appearance coming during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Qualifier event in Zimbabwe, Sinclair gives West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite another bowling option.

If selected to make his Test debut in Trinidad, right-armer Sinclair, who was born in Guyana, will probably team up with fellow spinner Rahkeem Cornwall.
