West Indies ODI squad for the 5-match series
West Indies have named Trinidadian rookies Jason Mohammed and Sunil Narine in their 15-member team for the five one-day internationals against India, but once again there was no place for Chris Gayle. Dwayne Bravo was not considered after suffering an injury.
Top order batsman Mohammed (25y) and spinner Narine(23y) were rewarded for their stellar performance in the Regional Super50 tournament, selector Robert Haynes said in a statement.
"In the Super50 Jason showed maturity, guts and fight in the way he batted on some difficult pitches," Haynes said.
"He scored vital runs to pull his team out of difficult situations, scored the most runs in the tournament and with the pitches in Guyana not being very different to the pitches in India. it augured well for his selection to the ODI squad."
"Sunil bowled well in Indian conditions in the Champions League for Trinidad and Tobago and then in the Super50 he was exceptional," Haynes said.
"Batsmen have difficulty reading him and we thought that he is deserving of his selection to show his worth against international batsmen."
WI ODI Squad: Darren Sammy(captain), Adrian Barath, Darren Bravo, Danza Hyatt, Anthony Martin, Jason Mohammed, Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard, Kieran Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach, Andre Russell, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons.

Salman Butt and Asif has found the duo guilty
In a development that is likely to have ramifications for far and long for cricket, the jury that heard the spot-fixing trial on Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif has found guilty. The now defunct News of the World tabloid had carried out the sting that implicated Asif, Butt and Mohammad Aamer a little over a year ago.
After the verdicts it was revealed that young bowler Mohammad Aamer pleaded guilty to the same charges two weeks before former captain Butt and paceman Asif went on trial at Southwark Crown Court in London.
Salman Butt was found guilty of cheating and of accepting money and Mohammad Asif has been found guilty of conspiracy to cheat. Butt now faces up to seven years in jail, while Asif could face upto 2 years in prison.
Prosecutors said Butt, Asif and Aamer conspired with British agent Mazher Majeed to bowl the no-balls as part of a plot that revealed "rampant corruption" at the heart of international cricket. Butt, 27, and Asif, 28, were each convicted of conspiracy to obtain or accept corrupt payments, and conspiracy to cheat at gambling. They had denied the charges.
The decision is a landmark one in many ways, not least because this is the first time that cricketers have been convicted by a court of law for on-field corruption. The jury didn't return an unanimous verdict on all counts, but reached a majority one on most counts after deliberating for more than 16 hours. According to television reports, the jury was also of the opinion that 'Salman Butt had lied throughout the trial'.
Butt was found guilty by a majority of 10-2 on the count of accepting corrupt payments. Both Butt and Asif were found guilty of a conspiracy to cheat by unanimous margins.
The International Cricket Council has already banned Butt for 10 years with five suspended, Asif for seven years with two suspended, and Aamer, 19, for five years straight after finding them guilty of corruption in February.

England was on line at 111-2 before Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja blow a hole all the way through their center order that was impractical against the spinners' subtle variation. The 126-run edge is India's second-biggest win over England in ODIs, and didn't seem expected given how evenly the game was suspended through India's innings.
There were concern about Dhoni form from first to last for long, but they can be covered for now. The Indian skipper posted his 4th ODI fifty on the trot, with scores of 69, 78 and 50 before in England. In the midst of Graeme Swann hurtle during his overs; India's score had come to a crawl. But when the set batting first Power play was claim in the 36th over, India's run-rate burst through the top.
Suresh Raina overcomes an irritating start, finishing a swift fifty by hitting Tim Bresnan over the sightscreen for an attractive six. He added 72 with Dhoni in 10 over’s, and India's revival was happening. Past in the innings, Ajinkya Rahane made a boring 15 (41balls) after being drop on zero. Parthiv Patel was run-out for 9 runs. Then Gautam batted completely for 32 but fell LBW to a impractical full-toss ball from Jade Dernbach. It left India unsure at 79-3.
Virat Kohli (37) and Raina sought after relief by trying to punish Samit Patel. But Kohli was trapped at long-off trying one time as well many to push in the scoring against the left-arm spinner. A score of 250 would have been good from here on, but Dhoni and Raina exceed all prospect. Those companies provide India the force, but Raina fell on 61, trying to slog Steven Finn. Anything hopes this get through gave England were speedily quell by Jadeja's hectic 27 and a 65-run position with Dhoni in just seven overs, which bring India to the entranced of 300
.
Dhoni finished brilliantly, employing his helicopter whips and chips over cover. After a good start, England's seamers ended in waywardly.
With England skipper Alastair Cook moving to a smoothly paced 60, the chase was well set-up. India's pace bowling attack with Vinay Kumar and Umesh Yadav was untested. But their swift crush to spin was classic. Starting with Jonathan Trott, consecutive batsmen failed to get forward and low to counter the turn and immerse.
Cook holed out to cavernous midwicket off Raveenndra Jadeja. Trott missed the line difficult to slog-sweep a at once ball in Jadeja's next. England struggled to read Ashwin's carrom ball and straighter ball.Ashwin also accounted for the wicket of Kevin Petersen, with a straight hit from mid-on. Petersen was concerned profusion by Vinay Kumar, who caught on to his convention of walking down the wicket to pacers. Vinay bounce him a couple of times, once outstanding him on the arm and once giving him a sore blow on the finger.
Dhoni had investigate the playing situation here days gone by and found out there was plenty of dew. Hence he went with three pacers today.Yadav wasn't always correct, but ended up with two not expensive wickets after the spinners had done most of the break.
In a jiffy, England had lost 8-68, and the game was every one of but in excess of in the 32nd over roundabout the time India begins their fight back in the first innings. This series began as a contest between India stressed to create impetus and England going through the form of their lives. At this rate, it may end up life form a contest between India's usual strength - spin - and England's classical helplessness to counter it.

Meanwhile, a protest was held in suburban Dahisar today against Akhtar, for his comments on Tendulkar. Protesters carried Akthar's posters on donkey-backs.
On Monday, Akhtar is scheduled to attend another function to promote his book in the city.
