New Delhi: Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine have been included in the West Indies squad for the first two T20s against Pakistan. 

It is not clear whether the duo will take part in the last two matches of the four match series, as it ends just days before the first match of the tenth edition of IPL.

Pollard and Narine will be joined by Lendl Simmons and Samuel Badree.

The West Indies Cricket Board has maintained a strong stance on selecting players who are not regulars in the domestic circuit. 

However, these four Trinidad players have been regular members of the West Indies T20 squad. But they have been repeatedly ignored for the ODIs.  

Now, that these superstars have been included in the squad it remains to be seen whether World Cup winning captain Darren Sammy, who has had a golden run in the PSL also, gets an opportunity or not. 

West Indies will take on Pakistan in the first T2oI at Barbados in March 26.
