Kyle Mayers was officially added to the West Indies T20 World Cup squad on Friday as a replacement for the injured Brandon King, according to an ICC release.

Mayers, a seasoned player with 37 T20Is under his belt, received approval from the ICC Event Technical Committee after King was sidelined with a side strain suffered during Wednesday's match against England.
