Left-arm seamer Pedro Collins will replace his injured half-brother Fidel Edwards in the West Indies squad for the second Test against India starting on Saturday in St Lucia.

Edwards strained his right hamstring during the first Test, which ended in a draw on Tuesday, the West Indies Cricket Board said in a statement.

Collins, the only change to the 13-man squad, has played 29 Tests and taken 96 wickets with a best of six for 53 against Bangladesh in 2004.

His last Test appearance was against South Africa in April 2005.

West Indies: Brian Lara (Captain), Chris Gayle, Darren Ganga, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Marlon Samuels, Runako Morton, Dwayne Bravo, Denesh Ramdin (wicket keeper), Ian Bradshaw, Corey Collymore , Jerome Taylor, Dave Mohammad and Pedro Collins.
