West Indies batsman Darren Bravo will miss the remainder of the World Cup with a hamstring injury.
Bravo was ruled out of today’s Pool B match against South Africa at the Sydney Cricket Ground, having injured himself in last week's win over Pakistan.
Then, after the Windies had suffered a 257-run defeat, thanks largely to the record-breaking batting of AB de Villiers, their day got worse when Bravo's longer-term absence was confirmed.

Elsewhere in Pool B, India coach Duncan Fletcher has left the World Cup to attend his father-in-law's funeral in Cape Town.
Fletcher will be absent for the world champions' clash against United Arab Emirates in Perth tomorrow.
A short statement from an India spokesman read: "Duncan has left for Cape Town to attend the funeral of his father-in-law."
Fletcher is scheduled to return on Monday in time for India's fourth game, which will also be at the WACA Ground, against the Windies on March 6.
It is the second successive 50-over tournament that the former England coach has had to leave due to a family bereavement.
During the 2013 Champions Trophy, which was staged in England, Fletcher flew out to Cape Town following the death of his mother.
India will also be without seamer Mohammed Shami this weekend because of a knee injury.
