LONDON – Fast bowler Kemar Roach will take no further part in West Indies’ tour of England after being ruled out yesterday with injury.
West Indies coach Ottis Gibson admitted Roach was a major loss but said the decision was taken with a long-term view.
“We still have an awful lot of cricket to play this year and we did not want to risk losing as valuable a player as Kemar for a long period,” he said.
“He has been outstanding with the ball for us so far this year, and we are all gutted by his departure. Kemar made a lot of improvements, after enduring a tough time last year, and gave us some world class performances during the series against Australia and here in England.”
The 23-year-old, who has led the seam attack admirably, is suffering from shin muscle soreness and team physio C.J. Clark said he would need time to recover.
