ST JOHN’S:
West Indies captain Darren Sammy and big-hitting opener Chris Gayle have been left out of the squad to face Zimbabwe in a three-match One-Day International (ODI) series, which starts on Friday. Sammy is rested after playing every match for the West Indies in the past two years with Dwayne Bravo taking over the captaincy. “Gayle has asked to miss the ODI series and has been granted permission accordingly,” said a West Indies Cricket Board statement. No reason was given for Gayle’s decision to skip the series. The West Indies endured a disappointing tour of Australia which ended last week. They lost all five one-dayers before clinching a 27-run win in a one-off Twenty20 international. Zimbabwe will play three ODIs against West Indies in Grenada starting February 22. The tourists will also play two Twenty20 internationals as well as two Tests.
