MIRPUR, India (CMC) — Akeal Hosein and Ramon Simmonds have been named as replacements for the West Indies in the ongoing One-Day International series against Bangladesh.

Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced on Monday that Hosein and Simmonds will replace pacers Jediah Blades and Shamar Joseph for the remaining two matches.

The 23-year-old Blades, a left-arm medium pacer, has been ruled out of the upcoming matches, and the tour of New Zealand that follows, with a stress fracture to the lower back. He will return home to undergo rehabilitation.

Joseph, who missed the preceding tour of India, reported some discomfort in his shoulder during the first training session ahead of the opening ODI against Bangladesh on Saturday.

Following a subsequent scan he has been recommended for consultation with a specialist in England to start the rehabilitation process.

The 24-year-old Simmonds made his debut for the senior side in the recently concluded T20I series against Nepal where he took four wickets in two matches.

The West Indies trail the three-match ODI series 0-1 after losing the opening match by 74 runs on Saturday.

The second ODI was scheduled to begin early on Tuesday.

The final match is set to be played on Thursday.
