Bravo returns for Windies as Gayle misses out image

Darren Bravo has been named in West Indies' 20-man squad for a training camp ahead of the upcoming Test series against England, but Chris Gayle is absent with an injury.

Batsman Bravo sustained a hamstring injury during the Windies' Cricket World Cup victory over Pakistan at the end of last month and was subsequently ruled out for the rest of the tournament.

However, he is back and in the party that will meet in Antigua on April 5, with the first Test against England starting on April 13.

There is no place for opener Gayle, though, who will miss the three-Test series due to a persistent back problem.

Uncapped quartet Carlos Brathwaite, Miguel Cummins, Shane Dowrich and Shai Hope are included, while there are recalls for Devendra Bishoo and Veerasammy Permaul.
