KINGSTON: West Indies have replaced out-of-form vice-captain Brendon Nash with right-handed batsman Kirk Edwards for the second test against India starting on Tuesday at Bridgetown, Barbados.
“It is clear that Brendan has been struggling for form for some time and we want to give him a chance to take some time away from international cricket and work on his game,” selection committee chairman Clyde Butts said in a statement.
The 33-year-old left-handed Nash scored one and nine in the first test which India won by 63 runs on Thursday in Jamaica to take an early lead in the three-match series.
Former captain and opening batsman Chris Gayle, who has had serious differences with the cricket board, was again left out of the squad. The team will be led by Darren Sammy.
Squad: Darren Sammy (captain), Adrian Barath, Carlton Baugh, Darren Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Marlon Samuels, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Lendl Simmons, Fidel Edwards, Kirk Edwards, Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach, Devendra Bishoo.
