2nd December 2009
West Indies fast bowler Jerome Taylor has been ruled out of the remainder of the tour of Australia because of injuries to his left hip and back.
The 25-year-old bowled only nine overs on the opening day of the first Test, which the Windies lost by an innings.
He will return home, with a decision on a replacement expected still to be decided.
Meanwhile, uncapped fast bowler Clinton McKay has been called into Australia's squad for the second Test on Friday, following an injury to Ben Hilfenhaus.
Having claimed 5-70 in his first Test on Australian soil as the hosts won the opening match of the series, Hilfenhaus succumbed to a long-term knee injury.
Victoria fast bowler McKay, 26, played in two one-day internationals on the recent tour of India, taking 3-59 on his debut and 0-44 in his second match.
There was some consolation for the beleaguered West Indians with news that key batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan is expected to be fit for the second Test, having missed the first match due to back trouble.
