Dubai: The ICC has approved Nikita Miller as a replacement for spinner Sunil Narine in the West Indies' squad for the cricket World Cup, starting February 14. Narine withdrew from the World Cup earlier this week, saying he required more time to be able to bowl confidently with his new action.

The 32-year-old Miller has represented the West Indies in 45 One-Day Internationals and has taken 40 wickets with his left-arm spin. His last ODI was against England in March 2014. The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Cricket World Cup approved the replacement.
