I have no doubt that Phil brings the requisite leadership skills and experience needed to drive improvement across our international squads and I look forward to supporting him in the role," CWI's Director of Cricket, Jimmy Adams said.The selection panels are as follows:WI Men's PanelLead Selector: Roger HarperSelector: Miles BascombeWI Women's & Girls' PanelLead Selector: Ann Browne-JohnSelector: Travis DowlinWI Boys' PanelTalent ID Manager: Robert HaynesWest Indies men's team will take on India in a three-match ODI and three-match T20I series.( With inputs from ANI )
