New Delhi, February 28: Legspinner Devendra Bishoo has been nominated as a replacement for injured allrounder Dwayne Bravo in the West Indies’ World Cup squad.
Bravo injured his left knee in the West Indies’ seven-wicket loss to South Africa last week and has been ruled out of the remainder of the World Cup, which is being staged in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
The West Indies Cricket Board announced Bishoo’s selection in a statement from Antigua last Sunday, on the eve of the West Indies’ Group B match against Netherlands.
Bishoo, a 25-year-old legspinner from Guyana, has previously played for West Indies A against Pakistan A.
