W.Indies vs Zimbabwe, Sammy given rest, Gayle allowed rest

West Indies captain Darren Sammy and big-hitting opener Chris Gayle have been left out of the squad to face Zimbabwe in a three-match ODI series which starts on Friday.
Sammy is rested after playing every match for the West Indies in the past two years with Dwayne Bravo taking over the captaincy.

"Gayle has asked to miss the ODI Series and has been granted permission accordingly," said a West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) statement.

No reason was given for Gayle's decision to skip the series.

The West Indies endured a disappointing tour of Australia which ended last week.

SQUAD
 Dwayne Bravo (captain), Tino Best, Darren Bravo, Johnson Charles, Narsingh Deonarine, Sunil Narine, Veerasammy Permaul, Kieron Pollard, Kieran Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Kemar Roach, Andre Russell, Ramnaresh Sarwan.
