There could be few complaints about their batting in the opening Test, but West Indies have decided to strengthen their batting reserves for the second Test against England, starting on Friday in Antigua.

West Indies won the opening Test at Sabina Park by an innings and 23 runs inside four days to take a 1-0 lead in the four-Test series, but they are not taking any chances with their batting and have brought Lendl Simmons and Ryan Hinds into their 14-member squad.
