The West Indies cricket selectors yesterday chose an unchanged squad of 13 players for the fourth Test against England beginning at Kensington Oval next Thursday.

The home team leads the five-match series 1-0 following victory in the opening test in Jamaica and draws in the second and third Tests in Antigua.

The second match was abandoned after 10 balls because of a dangerous outfield, while the hastily arranged third test went down to the wire with the West Indies' last pair Daren Powell and Fidel Edwards keeping England's bowlers at bay to earn a thrilling draw.

The two players that did not play in the Antigua matches, batsman Lendl Simmons and fast bowler Lionel Baker, are retained in the party.

The squad: Chris Gayle (captain), Denesh Ramdin (vice-captain), Devon Smith, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Ryan Hinds, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Brendan Nash, Jerome Taylor, Sulieman Benn, Daren Powell, Fidel Edwards, Lendl Simmons, Lionel Baker.
