Jonathan Foo, the Guyana batsman who starred in the Caribbean Twenty20 earlier this year, has been named in the West Indies A Twenty20 squad that will take on Pakistan A at home next month. Devendra Bishoo, the legspinner who topped the wickets chart in that tournament, has also been included. All-rounder David Bernard, who was part of the weakened West Indies team that played Bangladesh in 2009, will captain the side.Foo helped Guyana snatch victory against Barbados in the nail-biting final of the domestic event, hitting a 17-ball 42 under immense pressure. A hard-hitting lower-order batsman, the 20-year-old is among a rare breed of West Indies cricketers with Chinese descent.”The selection committee has identified this core group for Twenty20 cricket,” Clyde Butts, chairman of the WICB selection committee said in a statement. “We are now looking forward to seeing how these players do on the next level up, how they respond to the pressures and the challenges.”The A tour beginning on November 3 consists of two Twenty20s, three one-day matches and two four-day games.West Indies A Twenty20 squad: David Bernard (capt), Jason Holder, Miles Bascombe, Devendra Bishoo, Johnson Charles, Kirk Edwards, Andre Fletcher (wk), Jonathan Foo, Danza Hyatt, Nikita Miller, Ashley Nurse, Ravi Rampaul, Krishmar Santokie
