Adelaide: West Indies have been dealt another heavy blow on an already difficult tour, with confirmation senior seamer Jerome Taylor has been ruled out for the remainder of the series with a back strain.
Clyde Butts, West Indies' chairman of selectors, said Taylor would be sent home from Australia with a decision on his replacement to be made on Tuesday.
Even if a fast bowler is called into the squad in place of Taylor, there is little chance he will be ready for the second Test in Adelaide, beginning on Friday, due to flight time and acclimatisation. That will leave the tourists with a highly inexperienced attack for a match that could decide the fate of the Frank Worrell Trophy.
Taylor managed just nine overs at the Gabba before leaving the field with soreness in his left hip. He was unable to resume his place in the bowling line-up on the second day, leaving rookies Kemar Roach and Ravi Rampaul to shoulder the fast-bowling duties along with allrounder Dwayne Bravo. Scans subsequently revealed a lower back strain.
West Indies did receive some good news over the weekend, with Sarwan reporting good progress in his recovery from the back injury that sidelined him from the Brisbane Test. Team sources are confident the veteran batsman will be available to play in Adelaide.
