Darren Bravo quits Windies tour of New Zealand

WELLINGTON:-The West Indies suffered a blow on the eve of the second ODI against New Zealand with the loss of key batsman Darren Bravo. Bravo has returned home to Trinidad "for personal reasons". The left-hander, whose career-best 218 was pivotal in saving the first Test for the West Indies, scored 14 when the West Indies won the first ODI. Bravo will not be replaced in the West Indies squad for the remaining four ODIs with star batsman Chris Gayle expected to join the squad in time for the two Twenty20 matches.–AFP
