Leicester, England – The selection committee of the West Indies Cricket Board advised today that off-spinner Sunil Narine will replace injured fast bowler Kemar Roach in the West Indies’ Test squad on their tour of the United Kingdom.

Roach has been sidelined with shin muscle soreness, ruling him out of the remainder of the tour. He returned home to Barbados earlier today.

The 24-year-old Narine is yet to play Tests for West Indies, but has played eight One-day and two Twenty20 Internationals for the Caribbean side.
