Justin Greaves has been ruled out of the second ODI against India after suffering a calf injury during his maiden ODI century in the series opener. The West Indies opener scored 101 off 108 balls and put on 135 with Brandon King, but did not take the field in the second innings. Cricket West Indies confirmed the injury.
Greaves' absence is a setback for West Indies, who trail 1-0 in the three-match series after India chased down 295 at Thiruvananthapuram. Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill hit centuries in the chase.

Teenager Jewel Andrew is expected to replace Greaves in the batting order as West Indies attempt to level the series and stay alive in the contest.
