Shai Hope and Rovman Powell will captain West Indies in ODI and T20I cricket respectively, taking over from Nicholas Pooran, who resigned as white-ball captain after last year’s T20 World Cup.
Both men had served as vice-captains under Pooran, and will take over in their respective roles during the upcoming tour to South Africa.
Barring an improbable set of results in the final few Super League fixtures, West Indies would have to earn their spot at the ODI World Cup in India later this year via the global qualifier in Zimbabwe, which is scheduled for June-July.
They are currently eighth on the table, way behind seventh-placed Afghanistan
