The names of 15 member squad of West Indies Cricket team for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 have been announced recently. The only surprise inclusion in the squad is the 22-year old hard hitter batting all-rounder, Kieron Pollard, who has spent an excellent season in domestic cricket. Except this newcomer from Trinidad and Tobago, there is no other new comer in the squad but the inclusion of Jamaican all-rounder Marlon Samuels, who has recently been accused of having contract with a bookie during the series against India, has created controversy in the cricket world as ICC is now investigating the incident.

Brian Lara (captain), Ramnaresh Sarwan, Chris Gayle, Dwayne Smith, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Dwayne Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Ian Bradshaw, Corey Collymore, Jerome Taylor, Denesh Ramdin, Devon Smith, Lendl Simmons, Daren Powell, Kieron Pollard
