Jimmy Adams out of South African Tour

Johannesburg, Wednesday November 11th: West Indian batsman Jimmy Adams
is flying home and will take no further part in his team's tour of
South Africa.
Adams cut the little finger of his right hand with a bread knife
during the team's flight from London to Johannesburg. This injury
ruled him out of today's warm up match against a Gauteng XI in Soweto.
A further examination of the wound revealed tendon damage, and the
specialist who examined Adams has said that the wound will require at
least 6 weeks to heal properly.
No replacement for Adams has been named.
