Allrounder Rayad Emrit has been approved to replace fast bowler Ravi Rampaul for the Caribbean T20 2013 Tournament.
The Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board sought approval for Emrit to replace Rampaul who is unavailable due to an injury. The WICB Caribbean T20 2013 Technical Committee approved the replacement.
Emrit, 31, is a right-handed batsman and right-arm seamer. He has represented the defending champions in all formats for a decade. He played two One-Day Internationals for West Indies in India in 2007. He will join the squad for their pre-tournament warm-up match against the Windward Islands at UTT on Thursday night.
