Obed McCoy has been added to the 15-man West Indies squad for the remaining T20 matches against England.

He replaces medium-pacer Matthew Forde who sustained a left thigh injury during training on Wednesday.

Forde was named Player of the Series in the ODI leg of the tour, where the West Indies secured a series win.

The 22-year-old Forde will continue to be monitored by the medical team as he works toward a full recovery.

McCoy, who was initially unavailable due to an injury sustained during the Caribbean Premier League, has been cleared to return.

He will join the squad on today, ahead of the back-to-back matches over the weekend to close out the Rivalry series.
