West Indies Sweat on Bravo's Fitness for Crucial Fourth ODI


Indore, Dec 7 (IANS/CMC): West Indies batsman Darren Bravo is recovering from the hamstring injury that curtailed his innings in the last One-Day International Monday, but the visitors are continuing to sweat on his fitness for their fourth game against India here Thursday.

The stylish left-hander, who has been a key player for the Windies on the current tour, was forced to retire hurt on 26 while engaged in a promising 55-run, third wicket stand with Marlon Samuels (58).

Bravo was, however, able to walk around freely Tuesday with no discomfort from the injury and was expected to test his fitness while training at the Holkar Cricket Stadium Wednesday. The team officials were hoping that Bravo will be able to suit up.

The 22-year-old, the younger brother of all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, has emerged as one of the leaders of the West Indies batting, and scored a half-century in the opening game in Cuttack last week.

He was outstanding in the preceding Test series, scoring two brilliant centuries in his last four innings.

The West Indies trail 1-2 in the five-match one-day series, after winning the last game in Ahmedabad by 16 runs.
