Batsman Shai Hope was recalled to the West Indies squad for the first Test against South Africa on Tuesday while teenage fast bowler Jayden Seales is poised to make his debut. Hope, who has played 34 Tests, was dropped last year after the series against England with his average at a disappointing 26.27. Seales, the exciting 19-year-old fast bowler from Trinidad and a member of West Indies' Under-19 World Cup squad in 2020, is the only new name in the squad. Seales has only played one first-class match for West Indies A in New Zealand last December. West Indies squad:Kraigg Brathwaite (captain), Jermaine Blackwood, Nkrumah Bonner, Roston Chase, Rahkeem Cornwall, Joshua Da Silva, Jason Holder, Shai Hope, Alzarri Joseph, Kyle Mayers, Kieran Powell, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales
