Shimron Hetmyer is back in the West Indies ODI setup after injury forced Greaves out of the second and third matches against New Zealand. Hetmyer had originally been left out of the squad for all three ODIs to allow him to complete his Major League Cricket stint, but Greaves's injury has opened the door for his return to the 50-over frame.
The change gives West Indies a significant batting boost at a critical point in the series. Hetmyer's power-hitting in the middle order has long been one of the most destructive weapons in West Indian white-ball cricket, and his availability for the final two matches shifts the dynamic of the contest. The circumstances of his inclusion are unfortunate, but the impact he can have is undeniable.
