The West Indies have named their squad for the first of three Tests against Australia, with batsman Narsingh Deonarine and seamer Ravi Rampaul included in the 13-man fold.
The 28-year-old Deonarine has not played for the Windies since June 2010, when he fell from favour during the series against South Africa, but returns to the team on the back of a solid run of form for Guyana.
Rampaul, meanwhile, has recovered from the bout of dengue fever that ruled him out of last month's five ODIs and two T20Is against the touring Australians.
Kirk Edwards has been named vice-captain, while Devendra Bishoo is the lone specialist spinner in the squad.
The series opener gets underway in Bridgetown, Barbados on Sunday.
Squad: Darren Sammy (capt), Kirk Edwards (vice-captain), Adrian Barath, Carlton Baugh (wicketkeeper), Devendra Bishoo, Kraigg Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Narsingh Deonarine, Fidel Edwards, Kieran Powell, Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach
