The Indian cricket team had a major injury worry at the start of the West Indies tour, with off-spinner Ramesh Powar being rendered unfit for the first one-day international and fast bowler Sreesanth too looking a doubtful starter.

Powar twisted his ankle during practice in Montego Bay (Jamaica) on Monday,

while Sreesanth, who was said to have suffered a similar injury in Abu Dhabi, was still not 100 percent fit.

Both the players, along with opener Robin Uthappa, were left out of the opening fixture of the tour, a warm-up one-dayer against a local unit.

Team sources said there are no plans to send Sreesanth home.
