NEWCOMER?Assad Fudadin has received a visa and arrived in England but allrounder Narasingh Deonarine was still awaiting his yesterday before he could join West Indies teammates ahead of the three-Test series.
Guyanese Fudadin left for England Tuesday evening but his compatriot Deonarine remained in Jamaica awaiting further clearance in order to travel to Britain.
No date has been given for the issuing of the visa and West Indies officials were unsure when Deonarine would be able to join the touring party.
It is now unlikely that Deonarine will arrive in England in time for the second and final warm-up match, a four-day fixture against England Lions, starting today in Northampton, leaving him without a single match before the opening Test on May 17 at Lord’s.
Deonarine turned out for Kingston Cricket Club last weekend in the Senior Cup competition here, scoring a half-century and taking a ten-wicket match haul in a drawn match against Lucas.
