The 28-year-old Nottinghamshire batsman -- who has 11 Tests and 40 One Day Internationals under his belt -- suffered the injury during January's disastrous tour of India.
However, having been left out when the original squad was announced on January 27th he has been summoned after a scan confirmed he has sufficiently recovered although he will still have to undergo rehab when he gets to the West Indies to ensure he is fully fit.
Hales tweeted: "Antigua tomorrow. Can't wait to get back amongst it!"
"Alex Hales arrives tomorrow evening local time," the ECB confirmed. "He will continue his rehab with us until the medical and coaching teams deem he is fit enough to join the squad officially."
England are due to play a three match ODI series against the West Indians, two games in Antigua and one in Barbados.
