COLOMBO, Trinidad, CMC – All-rounder Dwayne Bravo is expected to be available for the second One-Day International against Sri Lanka tomorrow, after recovering from a slight knee injury.
The 27-year-old missed Monday’s opening game which finished in a no-result after rain washed out the second half of the contest.
Bravo trained yesterday with the rest of the squad without any discomfort and is likely to be in the final XI for the penultimate encounter of the three-match series being played at the at the Singhalese Sports Club.
“We were a little cautious before the first match and the physio C.J. Clark said we should give him a little bit more time,” said West Indies head coach Ottis Gibson.
“He has taken part in the training session fully and he has done everything that has been asked of him. He comes into the reckoning for tomorrow’s match.
“From the nets everybody is looking really good and we had some good batting in the first match so we are pleased with the way it’s going.”
Bravo picked up the injury while playing for Victoria Bushrangers in the recent Twenty20 Big Bash, and was forced to miss his final game of the competition.
He is expected to play a key role for West Indies during the World Cup campaign which follows the series.
