Campbell took the place of Brandon King, who was an opener in the Bangladesh series. King scored 44, 0, and 18 in the series, which West Indies lost 2-1. His T20I performance has also declined, with four scores under ten in his last five matches across the Bangladesh and New Zealand series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Campbell was called back into the team after his outstanding performances in red-ball cricket, highlighted by a century in the second Test against India in Delhi last month. He also led Jamaica's run-scoring in the Super50 Cup last season, accumulating 278 runs in seven matches with a strike rate of 102.20. Remarkably, none of the top ten run-scorers in that tournament had a higher scoring pace.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pacer Johann Layne and seam-bowling allrounder Shamar Springer have earned maiden ODi call-ups.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Layne's call-up comes after his Test debut during last month's tour of India. Although he's made an impact in red-ball cricket, he has just 12 List-A matches and 13 wickets in that format. Against New Zealand, Layne will join the seam attack alongside Jayden Seales and Romario Shepherd, in addition to Springer, Forde, and Justin Greaves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Matthew Forde, who shone with the ball in the five-match T20I series against the Kiwis, has made a return.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie, along with injured left-arm quick Ramon Simmonds, have been replaced from the squad that played Bangladesh last month. Additionally, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, and Jediah Blades were sidelined due to injuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
