AUCKLAND – West Indies One Day international (ODI) captain Dwayne Bravo is lamenting the absence of Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Marlon Samuels from the regional side as they prepare to go into battle against New Zealand in a series starting on Boxing Day (9 p.m. today Barbados time).
The three players have been injured and will be unavailable for the five-match ODI series which opens at Eden Park on Thursday.
Gayle is suffering from a hamstring injury, Pollard a knee injury, and Samuels a chronic right-wrist injury.
“Chris Gayle, Samuels and Pollard –three of our better players – we can’t hide that. We are definitely going to miss them because they are three world-class players,” said Bravo.
