Victoria name side to play West Indies in Geelong while Miguel Cummins has been called into the Windies squad
Vics name XI to play West Indies
The West Indies will attempt to regain their confidence ahead of the Boxing Day Test this weekend against an inexperienced Victorian Invitational XI.
The tourists were beaten by an innings and 212 runs in the first Test and have travelled to Geelong for a two-day Test tune-up on Saturday and Sunday.
Victoria's best players all have KFC Big Bash League commitments, meaning there were limited options for state selectors.
Ian Holland, a 25-year-old yet to make his first-class debut, will captain the hosts.

Travis Dean, who in October became the first man in history to score a century in each innings of a Sheffield Shield debut, is also playing.
"There's some players there that have only played a handful of club first XI games," Victoria coach David Saker said.
"There's one guy that has only played one club first XI game.
"So you would think the West Indies would be a little bit too strong for them.
"But let's wait and see."
Holland, Dean and Aaron Ayre, who made his first-class debut last month, will be the 'senior' players of the youthful XI.

Highly-rated offspinner Sam Grimwade will be among the talented teens keen to heap further misery on the visitors.
"Grimwade has had an impressive 24 months and is probably the best underage spinner in the country," Victoria chairman of selectors Andrew Lynch said.
"We've been keen for him to play a lot more games and now that he has finished his VCE, he can."
Meanwhile, fast bowler Miguel Cummins will replace the injured Shannon Gabriel in the West Indies' squad for the remaining two Tests against Australia.
The West Indies Cricket Board made the announcement on Wednesday.
Cummins has taken 99 wickets at an average of 22.83 in 36 first-class matches. He has made only one appearance for the West Indies, in a one-day international against Ireland in February 2014 at Sabina Park in Jamaica.
Gabriel injured his left ankle while bowling in the first innings of the first Test in Hobart, where Australia won by an innings and 212 runs.
Victorian Invitational XI: Ian Holland (capt), Aaron Ayre, Jackson Coleman, Travis Dean, Tom Donnell, Matt Doric, Sam Grimwade, Jake Hancock, Jeremy Hart, Dylan Kight, Jackson Koop, Blake Thomson.
