BRIAN LARA has been named the 14 man West Indies squad for next month's World Cup. Lara's participation in the tournament looked in doubt when he pulled out of the West Indies squad for the recent World Series in Australia following a much publicised row with his country's cricketing chiefs.

The talented left hander was unhappy about a fine that was imposed for "indiscipline" following last summer's Test tour of England, but the rift now seems to have been healed following his inclusion.
