Good piece of news for the fans of classy West Indies batsman Chris Gayle, who has just recently declared himself fit for Tuesday's second one-day international (ODI) against England at The Oval. However, Darren Bravo won’t be available because of a groin injury.

For the uninitiated, Gayle had been due to make his long awaited return to international cricket, after 15 months on the sidelines following a dispute with West Indies Cricket Board chiefs, in Saturday's first ODI at Southampton.

But the left-hander was ruled out with a shin injury. However when it comes to Bravo, he suffered groin injury during the first ODI which England won by 114 runs under the Duckworth/Lewis method to go 1-0 up in a three-match series, while all-rounder Andre Russell fell heavily on his shoulder as he completed a run.

A West Indies spokesman said Gayle has made himself available to play on Tuesday, while the team was awaiting the results of the scan on Russell. The series concludes in Leeds on Friday before the teams contest a stand-alone Twenty20 match in Nottingham on Sunday.

We are really glad to hear about Gayle’s comeback and wish he proves himself as dependable batsman of the team once again!
