Dwayne Bravo ruled out of World Cup

A West Indies team spokesman says allrounder Dwayne Bravo has been ruled out of the World Cup by the left knee injury he sustained in his side's seven-wicket loss to South Africa.

Team media manager Philip Spooner confirmed on Friday that Bravo was out of the tournament and would return home. He said in a text message that a replacement for the 27-year-old Bravo would be named after ICC approval.

Bravo was helped from the field during Thursday's Group B match against South Africa after his left leg twisted badly under his weight when he tried to field a ball off his own bowling.
