Trinidad: The West Indies have suffered an injury setback ahead of their three-match ODI series against Pakistan, with young pacer Matthew Forde sidelined due to injury. The 22-year-old pacer dislocated his left shoulder while attempting a catch during a training session on Wednesday and will be replaced by uncapped all-rounder Johann Layne in the West Indies squad.
“West Indies Academy pacer Johann Layne will replace Matthew Forde in the squad for the three matches against Pakistan starting on Friday.
Forde dislocated his left shoulder while attempting a catch during Wednesday’s training session,” CWI said in a statement.
Layne earned a call-up following his decent performances for West Indies A against South Africa A, with the 21-year-old providing another seam bowling option for the Caribbean side.
The ODI series will be played entirely in Trinidad, with the first match on Friday, followed by games on August 10 and August 12. IANS
