KEY POINTS:
New West Indies coach John Dyson will not accompany the team on their forthcoming cricket tour of Zimbabwe as he remains in Australia to finalise his domestic matters.
Dyson, who was appointed last month, was absent from the first day of the team's training camp this week.
West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) chief executive Donald Peters said he had met Dyson and reached an agreement on his availability.
"There are no major issues where this is concerned. Obviously for someone coming from so far there are a number of matters to settle. He will miss the Zimbabwe tour and will join the team in South Africa," Peters said.
The West Indies play the first of five one-day internationals in Zimbabwe on November 30 before touring South Africa where they will play three tests and another five one-dayers.
Peters said the coaches in Zimbabwe would be Henderson Springer and David Williams, who would then assist Dyson in South Africa.
