West Indies fast bowler Matthew Forde, 23 years old, hurt his left shoulder during training on Wednesday while trying to catch the ball.

This injury means he cannot play in the three-match ODI series against Pakistan starting tonight in Trinidad.

To replace him, the team called up Johann Layne, a 22-year-old all-rounder from Barbados who has never played international cricket before. Layne is known for his fast bowling and strong hitting lower in the batting order. This is a great chance for him to make his debut.

Matthew Forde has been an important player for West Indies in recent months. He is known not only for his bowling but also for his powerful batting.

He has taken 17 wickets in 13 ODIs and shares the record for the joint-fastest fifty in ODI history with famous player AB de Villiers.
