Kemar Roach of West Indies is set to return for the South Africa Test Series
Kemar Roach, who missed the England Test series due to a knee injury sustained during the County Championship, returns to the West Indies Test squad for the two-match series against South Africa.
Meanwhile, Alzarri Joseph has been rested, with wicketkeeper-batter Joshua da Silva stepping in as vice-captain.
Kevin Sinclair, part of the squad for the England series, is not considered this time as he is still recovering from a fractured left forearm.
He was injured by a delivery from Mark Wood during the Trent Bridge Test.

“We have decided to rest our vice-captain Alzarri Joseph for this series.
Alzarri has had a considerable workload recently, and this break will allow him to recuperate and return to peak performance.
Kevin Sinclair is currently recovering from an injury,” said head coach Andre Coley.
Jomel Warrican, Justin Greaves, and uncapped Bryan Charles have been included in the squad for the South Africa Tests, having not participated in the England series.
Jeremiah Louis, who sustained a hamstring injury and withdrew from the third Test against England, and Akeem Jordan, who replaced him, have both been excluded for the home series.
Kirk McKenzie, who scored only 33 runs in the three Tests against England, has also been left out, along with Zachary McCaskie.
West Indies’ first Test against South Africa begins on August 7 at Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
The second Test will be held at the Providence Stadium in Guyana from August 15.
