Barbadian Floyd Reifer received a call-up to the West Indies
team yesterday after Jimmy Adams was ruled out of the South
African tour.
Adams sliced open a finger on his right hand with a bread knife
during the team's flight to South Africa on Monday. The wound
was stitched but when Adams visited a doctor yesterday morning,
it was discovered he had severed two tendons.
"He will be out for six weeks," team manager Clive Lloyd said.
Reifer, 26, who is with the West Indies "A" team in Bangladesh,
will join the senior side in Johannesburg on Saturday, the West
Indies Cricket Board said.
Chris Gayle of Jamaica will be joining the "A" team in India on
Sunday as Reifer's replacement.
