  They have Jason Holder as the captain of West Indies team for the World Cup 2015, and to lower down his work he has his deputy Marlon Samuels. They will miss the likes of Pollard,Bravo as the selectors have dropped them out for an undisclosed reason.So,the squad will need to settle their likes and show the opponents that they maintain no pressure with the absence of experience.

Strengths:-  The presence of Chris Gayle and Marlon  Samuels at the top of the order will keep opposing captains on their toes. Samuel's evolution as a batsman has been heartening. He is probably at the peak of his power. Andre Russell the West indies have bragging rights over an all rounder of inimitable dexterity. If the dynamic trinity of Gayle, Samuels and Russell click in unison, West Indies will have a glimmer of hope.

Weakness:- Sunil Narine's absence conspicuously exposes the impenetrability  of the bowling attack.They have no experienced captain.Bowling attack have no variety.Poor bowling form in dept overs.
