West Indies batsman Assad Fudadin has been ruled out of the remainder of the Test tour of South Africa after fracturing a finger during fielding practice on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old fractured the little finger on his right hand in the warm-ups on the opening morning of the first Test in Pretoria.

Fudadin came into the squad after Darren Bravo declined selection for personal reasons, but he will now have to be replaced by the West Indies Cricket Board.
