West Indies make forced change to their World Cup squad
Kyle Mayers was on Friday added to the West Indies T20 World Cup squad as a replacement for injured opener Brandon King, the ICC stated in a release.
Mayers, who has played 37 T20Is for the two-time champions, was approved as a replacement by the ICC Event Technical Committee after King was ruled out of the tournament due to a side strain.
King had suffered the niggle in the match against England on Wednesday. The hard-hitting opener made 23 off 13 balls before getting retired hurt in the Windies’ eight-wicket defeat.
Mayers is expected to join the West Indies squad on Saturday.
