MUMBAI, India (AP) Batsman Lendl Simmons has replaced injured Andre Fletcher in the West Indies squad for the World Twenty20.
The ICC's technical committee approved the replacement on Tuesday after Fletcher pulled a right hamstring during West Indies' six-run defeat against Afghanistan on Sunday and was ruled out of the tournament.
The 31-year-old Simmons was part of the West Indies squad which won the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka in 2012.
He has played 34 T20Is, scoring 761 runs at a strike rate of 114, but has been out of the West Indies T20 squad since 2015.
