Sampson “shocked” to receive West Indies call up

Guyana all-rounder Quintin Sampson has revealed that he was surprised to be named in West Indies’ squad for the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan.

The 25-year-old was included in the West Indies 16-man squad for the series, which will be played in the United Arab Emirates and will serve as a warmup series for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Sampson earned his maiden international callup on the back of strong performances in last year’s Breakout League and Caribbean Premier League.
