West Indies—India second one-dayer abandoned 

Kingston, May 26: Heavy rain forced the second one-day international of a five-match series between India and West Indies to be abandoned without a ball being bowled on Sunday, a day after the first one was washed out.

Match referee Mike Proctor made a visit to Sabina Park early in the morning to look at the condition of the ground and decided to call off the game because of huge puddles on the outfield.

"There is just too much rain," Proctor told Reuters. "We have called off the match because there is no way we'll be able to play on that ground even if the rain stops now."

It rained all through Saturday night and Sunday morning in Kingston.

"It's really sad for all involved, for the fans and the players. We don't even have a chance to make up for this loss because of the tight schedule. It's effectively a three-match series now," Proctor said.

The next match is scheduled for Barbados on Wednesday with India looking to salvage some pride after going down 2-1 in the test series, which finished last week.

India were expected to leave out Vangipurappu Laxman for the Jamaica one-dayers, despite his 474 runs in the test series, and ask Rahul Dravid to keep wickets as they went for a young side packed with one-day specialists.

West Indies had shortlisted 12 players, leaving out all-rounder Gareth Breese.

The series will end with back-to-back matches in Port of Spain, Trinidad on June 1 and 2.
