There were also recalls for wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich, who played his only ODI in 2019, and opening batter Kjorn🎶 Ottley, who played two ODIs in January 2021.
Rutherford is a 25-year-old middle-order batter who has played six Twenty20s, but not since 2🍷020, and Forde is a 21-year-old medium-pacer.
The team led by Shai Hope faces England on Dec. 3 and 6 in Antigua, and on Dec. 9 in Barbados. Allrounder Justi💮n Greaves was injured while Jason Holder and Nicholas Pooran were unavailable because they were prioritizing other formats.
The West Indies andও England then play five T20s.
