Will he go home now? He has professional commitments he needs to take care of, said the left-arm spinner.

West Indies sweep Bangladesh with 10-wicket rout in second Test

West Indies wasted no time on a day when more than five hours were lost to the elements to complete a 10-wicket victory over Bangladesh on the fourth day of the second and final Test in St Lucia on Monday.

That left captain Kraigg Brathwaite and opening partner John Campbell with the formality of knocking off the 13 runs required for victory in less than three overs for another comprehensive triumph and a 2-0 sweep of the series.
