Barbados, June 26 (ANI): West Indies have dropped vice-captain Brendan Nash and recalled Kirk Edwards for the second Test against India, which begins on June 28 in Barbados.
Marlon Samuels, who missed the first Test in Jamaica, is likely to play in the middle order instead of Nash.
Nash came into the Test side without match practice and made 1 and 9 at Sabina Park, where West Indies lost by 63 runs. He has scored only 53 runs in his previous six innings and been dismissed in single digits five times.
"It is clear that Brendan has been struggling for form for some time and we want to give him a chance to take some time away from international cricket and work on his game," Clyde Butts, the chairman of selectors, said.
He added: "Brendan is a mentally tough cricketer and we are sure that he will be able to overcome the challenges he is now facing and come back strong."
Former West Indies fast bowler and commentator Ian Bishop said that he expected Samuels and not Edwards to make the final eleven for the Test.
