Chris Gayle will be back to open for West Indies against England in the third ODI here today.
The destructive opener missed the second match at Trent Bridge on his 38th birthday, after feeling a twinge in his right hamstring in the warm-up.
Scans on the problem indicated no serious issue, however, and two days later Gayle was fit to take part in West Indies nets.
Captain Jason Holder confirmed the big-hitting left-hander will be back to take on England today, as the tourists bid to battle back from 1-0 down in the five-match ODI series. "I think Chris is good to go," said Holder.
"I think the last game (off) was more precautionary than anything else, and he seems to be raring to go. It's good to have him back, and we hope we can have him for the duration of the series," he added.
