ICC approves replacement

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has approved Devendra Bishoo as a replacement player for the injured Dwayne Bravo in the West Indies World Cup squad.

Bishoo, a 25-year-old leg-spinner, has not been capped by the West Indies. He has played 21 first-class matches and 13 domestic Twenty20 games while the Guyanese-born bowler also played for the West Indies A team last year.

Bravo is the 11th player to be replaced in the tournament and the third for the West Indies after Adrian Barath and Carlton Baugh.

The eligibility of a replacement player is subject to approval by the ICC before he can be officially added to the squad.
