Guyana batsman Assad Fudadin has been named as Darren Bravo’s replacement for the West Indies’ tour of South Africa.

Bravo pulled out of the tour due to personal reasons, which the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has refused to reveal.

Meanwhile, the national selectors have also requested that pace bowler Sheldon Cottrell represent Jamaica in the third round of the Professional Cricket League so that they “have an opportunity to evaluate his match readiness”.

West Indies Test squad for tour of South Africa: Denesh Ramdin (capt), Sulieman Benn, Jermaine Blackwood, Kraigg Brathwaite, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Sheldon Cottrell, Assad Fudadin, Shannon Gabriel, Chris Gayle, Jason Holder, Leon Johnson, Kemar Roach, Marlon Samuels, Jerome Taylor, Chadwick Walton
