Wills Cup: Windies without Ambrose
Our Sports Reporter
West Indies strike bowler Curtly Ambrose will not be coming to Dhaka
for the Wills International Cup.
The 6ft 7 inch Antiguan who has 204 ODI wickets to his name, withdraw
from the 14-man team on personal grounds.
Ambrose, veteran of 169 matches, had a meeting Tuesday with officials
of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB). He said his home felt the
fury of last month's 'Hurricane George' that swept through United
States. But he would be available for the tour of South Africa
starting in November.
Ambrose will be replaced by Guyanese Reon King. King earlier toured
Bangladesh in 1996 as part the West Indies under-19 squad.
The 'calypso cricketers' led by Brian Lara are expected to arrive
tomorrow. They play Pakistan in final quarterfinal on October 29.
