Speedster Shannon Gabriel and wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich have recovered from minor injuries picked up in the opening Test and have been passed fit for the second Test starting here Thursday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gabriel limped out of the fourth day\u2019s play at Kensington Oval last weekend with a bruised toe as West Indies romped to an emphatic 381-run victory, while Dowrich also sat out proceedings with a sore back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Indies team manager, Rawl Lewis, confirmed Tuesday there were no major injuries in the squad as they chased a historic series win.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[There are] no worries at all. There will always be little niggles after a hard Test match but they are all ready to go,\u201d Lewis said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He added: \u201cWe practised from 2 pm to 5 pm and everyone was there nice and healthy and strong and looking pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabriel had little impact in the opening Test claiming just two wickets but worked up a fair turn of pace in the second innings before having to go off after lunch.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dowrich, meanwhile, batted outstandingly in the second innings to finish unbeaten on 116 but was replaced by Shai Hope behind the stumps for the entire fourth day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Indies named an unchanged squad for the upcoming Test but have added fast bowler Oshane Thomas as a 14th man, after the Jamaican acted as cover for fellow pacer Alzarri Joseph for the first Test in Bridgetown last weekend.<\/p>
