Kemar Roach has been ruled out of the remainder of West Indies' tour of England with a shin injury and will return to the Caribbean immediately.

Roach, who has been West Indies' stand-out pace bowler during the Test series, was diagnosed with the injury following the second Test at Trent Bridge which the visitors lost by nine wickets to give England the series. He has been carrying soreness during most of the tour - and has spent time off the field during both matches - and will now aim to be fit for the visit of New Zealand.

West Indies coach Ottis Gibson admitted Roach was a major loss but said the decision was taken with a long-term view in mind. "We still have an awful lot of cricket to play this year and we did not want to risk losing as valuable a player as Kemar for a long period," he said...

This is a huge hit to the Windies. He was the one bowler who seemed to cause a tiny little bit of panic in the English batting line up.

Dodgy bookmakers obviously made enough money from the 2nd test already

Shame this, despite the rather ridiculous no-ball problem he's been worth watching bowl.

Narine has just finished competing in the IPL - which he opted to play in instead of the Test series against Australia and England - where he enjoyed considerable success for the winners, Kolkata Knight Riders, with 24 wickets at 13.50 and an economy rate of 5.47 from 15 matches.

He has played eight ODIs and two Twenty20 internationals, while his first-class cricket he has 34 wickets from six matches at 11.88. Narine has caught the eye with a variety of deliveries to put him in the 'mystery' category of offspinner and was expected to be named in the squad for the one-day series against England.
