West Indies have called up uncapped Guyana legspinner, Devendra Bishoo, as a replacement for the injured allrounder Dwayne Bravo in their World Cup squad. Bishoo has been approved by the ICC's technical committee and will arrive in Dhaka on March 2, ahead of the match against Bangladesh on March 4.

Bravo suffered a major injury to his left knee during the defeat against South Africa. He is expected to be out of the game for a minimum of four weeks.

Bishoo, 25, is the third replacement player to join the squad as a result of injury. Kirk Edwards and Devon Thomas had already replaced Adrian Barath and Carlton Baugh, who were ruled out of the tournament because of hamstring problems.

Bishoo was the player of the tournament of Caribbean Twenty20 2010 and also took 10 wickets in the WICB regional 50-over tournament last October. He has played 21 first-class matches, ten List A matches and 13 Twenty20s.
