Andrew Richardson set to replace Jerome Taylor

Jamaican bowler, Andrew Richardson could join the West Indies team now on tour in Australia to replace fast bowler Jerome Taylor.



Taylor is now heading back to the Caribbean from the tour of Australia to treat his damaged hip.



Chairman of the West Indies Selection panel, Clyde Butts, said the new player would even be hard pressed to arrive in Adelaide by Friday for the start of the second Test, given the time it would take to obtain a visa and the length of the flight.

Taylor, who has taken 82 wickets in his 49 Tests, was regarded as the head of the attack.



However, his injury restricted him to 9 overs in Brisbane, leaving the fast bowling in the hands of 21-year-old Kemar Roach, playing his third Test, and Ravi Rampaul who is on debut.



Taylor\'s place in Adelaide is likely to go to Gavin Tonge, the burly Antiguan who is on his first tour and yet to play a Test.
