Controversial batsman fails fitness test Morton cast into the wilderness December 12, 2003 Former West Indies batsman Runako Morton will not play in the 2004 Carib Beer Series following an negative medical report. Morton, who completed a year-long suspension in September, has not been named in a 22-member Leeward Islands training squad. Carlisle Powell, president of the Leeward Islands Cricket Association, recently disclosed that Morton was given an unfavourable report after an examination by a clinical psychologist. Morton was suspended by the West Indies Cricket Board for misconduct on the A team tour to England. Then, he asked to return home early from the ICC Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka to attend his grandmother's funeral, a story which later turned out to be untrue. Morton, who has played two ODIs for West Indies, both against Pakistan, and has scored 1,736 runs (ave.33.86) in 34 first-class matches, made a return to the Leewards side for the regional Red Stripe Bowl in October. © Cricinfo
