Opening batsman Chris Gayle is out of this month's West Indies tour of South Africa because of injury, with Devon Smith called up to replace him.
West Indies said in a statement that he had "been replaced due to injury" without offering any further details.
Winward Islands opener Smith has been in excellent form in regional competition with two half-centuries and a ton in his last three games but he has not played a test for West Indies since 2011.
The Caribbean side will play three Tests in South Africa starting on Dec. 10 in Centurion.
