West Indies name replacement for injured Jeremiah Louis for third England Test
Pace bowler Jeremiah Louis has been ruled out of the final Test against England due to a hamstring injury
West Indies have called up fast bowler Akeem Jordan in place of Louis for the third Test against England. Jordan is yet to make his debut in the longest format but has represented West Indies in two ODIs. Jordan will join the squad on Wednesday, 24 July, participating in the training session at Edgbaston -- the venue for the last Test.
Louis, who was yet to play a Test in the series, suffered the hamstring injury during the second match at Trent Bridge. He will continue to travel with the team to receive treatment.
Waiting for his first Test cap, Jordan has played 19 first class matches, picking up 67 wickets at an average of 24.1 and including two five-wicket hauls.
Except for Jordan, the West Indies squad possess Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, and Jayden Seales as the fast-bowling options on the tour. England have secured the series with an unassailable 2-0 lead after defeating West Indies by an innings and 114 runs at Lord's and by 241 runs at Trent Bridge. The third and final Test will start on Friday, 26 July.
West Indies squad: Kraigg Brathwaite (c), Alick Athanaze, Joshua Da Silva (wk), Jason Holder, Kavem Hodge, Tevin Imlach, Akeem Jordan, Alzarri Joseph (vc), Shamar Joseph, Mikyle Louis, Zachary McCaskie, Kirk McKenzie, Gudakesh Motie, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Kevin Sinclair
