Sheldon Cottrell marked his return to the West Indies team with a five-wicket haul as the home side snatched a series-levelling 26-run victory over England in the second one-day international of a five-match series at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Friday.
Dropped for the curtain-raiser two days earlier where the English cantered to a six-wicket win in a high-scoring fixture, the 29-year-old Jamaican left-arm fast bowler returned figures of five for 46 as the top-ranked visitors lost their last six wickets for 35 runs to be dismissed for 263 in response to what looked a comparatively modest West Indies total of 289 for six.
"You need options in this day and age and Cottrell gave us that extra bit of variation with the ball," said West Indies skipper Jason Holder of his match-winning bowler amid the victory celebrations.
"I love his energy. His is one for the future. It's really good to see so many of these players stepping up."

"We thought 290 was well within our capabilities," said Morgan. "We made mistakes and it hurt us. The West Indies deserved to win."
