New Zealand vs West Indies: Kemar Roach, Shane Dowrich To Miss 2nd Test, Joshua DaSilva Added
Cricket West Indies (CWI) have announced that wicket-keeper Shane Dowrich and pacer Kemar Roach will be missing the upcoming second Test against New Zealand. Both players will return home now. Roach is doing so as his father passed away while Dowrich is doing so for personal reasons. The board also confirmed that the left-handed batsman Shimron Hetmyer is still under concussion protocols following the blow to his head sustained in the second T20I while all-rounder Keemo Paul is still being treated for a groin injury.
"They are both being closely monitored by the team's medical staff and decisions on their availability will be made at a later date," CWI said in an official statement.
The selectors have called up young wicket-keeper batsman Joshua DaSilva as a replacement for Dowrich, while middle-order batsman Nkrumah Bonner and left-arm fast bowler Preston McSween will remain with the squad as cover.
