Cricket: Injury forces Bravo home

Darren Bravo has returned home following the groin strain he suffered in the first One-Day International against England, according to ESPNCricinfo. Bravo’s injury is a blow for the West Indies as he had returned to form with a century in a practice match against Middlesex. In addition, West Indies have other injury concerns as well. Chris Gayle is a doubt and has been sent for a scan on his injury, while Andre Russell also missed training at The Oval.  Gayle had picked up a stress reaction in a bone in his left foot last Wednesday and Russell had injured his left shoulder during the match on Saturday.
