Major blow for West Indies ahead of the ICC World t2o in India as Kieron Pollard and spinner Sunil Narine withdraw their names from the squad.

West Indies have been dealt big blows ahead of next month's World Twenty20, with both Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine withdrawing from the 15-man squad.

A press release said that Pollard pulled out due to "lack of sufficient progress in his rehabilitative work", while Narine's reason was "insufficient progress in the rehabilitative work on his bowling action". 

Narine is currently banned from bowling in internationals.  Carlos Brathwaite has been named as Pollard's replacement.
