West Indies have been hit by the news that pace spearhead Jerome Taylor will miss the remainder of their tour of Australia.
The 25-year-old injured his left hip and back after bowling just nine overs on day one of the first Test in Brisbane, which ended in a heavy defeat for the Windies.
Taylor, who did not play in the warm-up game against Queensland due to general soreness, will return to Jamaica on Tuesday.
West Indies management are yet to name a replacement player.
Captain Chris Gayle, who described the innings-and-65-run loss to Australia as a "disaster", had hoped Taylor would be able to take his place in the side for the second Test starting in Adelaide later this week.
The Windies are expected to recover middle-order batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan for the clash after he missed the first Test with a back injury.
