All-rounder Dwayne Bravo will miss West Indies' three one-day internationals in Ireland this week due to an ankle problem.

Bravo, 23, played a significant part in the 2-1 NatWest Series victory over England despite the injury and will now be assessed by a specialist in London before returning to the Caribbean.

As a result, West Indies will operate with a 13-man squad for the matches against the Netherlands, Scotland and Ireland.

"We are going to miss Dwayne but we decided against a replacement because it is a short trip with only three games and we've had some good performers in England who did not get a chance in the one-day internationals," said coach David Moore.

West Indies named the same XI for each of the three 50-over contests against England, so one of Darren Sammy, Austin Richards or Lendl Simmons will now get a chance.
