Rain puts a damper on Windies, India ‘A’ teams
LEICESTER, England (CMC) – West Indies ‘A’ suffered a setback on their tour of England, when the opening day of their “Test” against India ‘A’ was washed out yesterday.
Not a ball was bowled at Grace Road, where the ‘A’ team were forced to complete their final practice session indoors on Wednesday after rain swept across the venue.
‘A’ team coach Hendy Springer reported that his side had been restricted to all indoor sessions, since arriving from Wales for the match.
West Indies ‘A’ did not have the best of build-ups to the encounter, with their three-day, first-class match against Glamorgan in the Welsh capital of Cardiff abandoned as a draw last weekend, after rain ruined the final day.
They were dismissed for a paltry 151 in their only innings, although their bowlers bowled impressively to restrict Glamorgan.
