West Indies have a host of injury problems as they prepare for the start of the first Test against England at Lord’s.
Kemar Roach (ankle) and Ravi Rampaul (neck) both struggled during the recent defeat to the England Lions in Northampton, while Fidel Edwards is currently being troubled by a back problem.
This means inexperienced duo Shannon Gabriel and Assad Fudadin could be handed Test debuts in a game the tourists are 9/1 with bookmaker to win, while the draw is available at 14/5.
Windies coach Ottis Gibson said: “Kemar Roach has twisted his left foot while Ravi Rampaul woke up with a stiff neck.
“We have to be a little bit careful with Lord’s in mind. It is a bit of a disappointment they have not bowled much, but we are here to play Test matches and we hope it will be all right.”
