Taylor is spoken ofhighly in the Caribbean, and an impressive ODI debut against Sri Lankacapped a highly successful domestic season.Taylor has played just seven first class matches, picking up 21 wickets atan average of 20.14, and was named the most promising bowler in the CaribBeer series this year. If he plays the Test, Taylor will become the youngestdebutant for West Indies since Alfie Roberts played against New Zealand inAuckland in 1956.The rest of the line-up is drawn largely from the squad which was beaten 1-3in the four-Test series against Australia.
