West Indies opener Adrian Barath and wicketkeeper Carlton Baugh are doubtful starters for the World Cup due to hamstring injuries.
Barath, who hit an impressive century in the recent rain-abandoned opening one-dayer against Sri Lanka in Colombo, missed the warm-up game against Sri Lanka while Baugh retired out on 29 in the same practice game, requiring Darren Bravo to keep wickets, the Jamaica Observer reported.
According to the newspaper, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) media manager Imran Khan has confirmed that the duo was injured but added that no decision has yet been made.
But there is some good news for the West Indies camp. Hard hitting batsman Kieron Pollard, who gave the warm-up games a miss because of a side strain, has been declared fit.
