Kirk McKenzie and Alick Athanaze

West Indies have handed maiden call-ups to left-handers Kirk McKenzie and Alick Athanaze while bringing back burly all-rounder Rahkeem Cornwall for the opening Test against India beginning here on July 12.

The selection panel on Friday named a 13-member squad and two travelling reserve players for the series opener of the two-match series.

McKenzie and Athanaze, who has played an ODI, are in line to make their Test debut. Besides Cornwall, who played his last Test in November 2021, left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican has been named. Warrican was in the squad which toured Zimbabwe but missed the last tour of South Africa in February.
