West Indies have named an inexperienced squad for their two Twenty20 internationals in England next month. With the two matches at The Oval set to clash with the Champions League Twenty20, the Windies selectors have elected to overlook Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Lendl Simmons, Adrian Barath, Darren Bravo and Ravi Rampaul.

Star batsman Chris Gayle has also been omitted as he remains out of favour following a spat with the West Indies Cricket Board. In contrast, Bravo and Pollard are due to play for their IPL franchises - defending champions the Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians respectively - while the remaining four players will appear for home country Trinidad & Tobago.

In their absence the Windies have called on four new uncapped players - Miles Bascombe, Johnson Charles, Nkruma Bonner and Derwin Christian. The two Twenty20s are scheduled for September 23 and 25 at The Oval.

Squad: Darren Sammy (capt), Christopher Barnwell, Miles Bascombe, Devendra Bishoo, Nkruma Bonner, Johnson Charles, Derwin Christian (wk), Fidel Edwards, Danza Hyatt, Ashley Nurse, Andre Russell, Marlon Samuels, Krishmar Santokie, Dwayne Smith.
