West Indies have called-up uncapped teenage seamer Alzarri Joseph to their squad for the second Test against India.
The 19-year-old, from the Leeward Islands, was one of the Windies' stars at the U19 World Cup this year, helping them to the title with 13 wickets to his name.
India cruised to an innings-and-92-run victory in the first Test in Antigua and clash in the second Test at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, on Saturday.
Chairman of selectors Courtney Browne said: "We feel that Alzarri, who led the attack so expertly in the Youth World Cup earlier this year in Bangladesh, will now benefit from the professional guidance of our coaching staff and the presence of fast bowling legend Joel Garner as manager.
"As we develop our Test team, we see this as a positive step in the process."
Full West Indies squad: Jason Holder (captain), Kraigg Brathwaite, Devendra Bishoo, Jermaine Blackwood, Carlos Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Rajindra Chandrika, Roston Chase, Miguel Cummins, Shane Dowrich, Shannon Gabriel, Alzarri Joseph, Leon Johnson, Marlon Samuels
