Batting star Shimron Hetmyer has been replaced in the West Indies squad for this month’s T20 World Cup after missing an already rescheduled flight to Australia, last week.
Cricket West Indies (CWI) said the left-hander has been scheduled to leave Guyana last Saturday but has requested a delayed departure from Guyana due to “family reason.”
According to CWI, Hetmyer told Director of Cricket, Jimmy Adams that he “would not be able to get to the airport in time for the flight to New York — the first leg of his trip Down Under.”
Shamara Brooks, who topped the average for recently crowned Caribbean Premier League Champion, Jamaica Tallawahs has been called up by selectors to replace Hetmyer.
