The Gujarat Lions all-rounder will not be available for the initial games of the tournament because of a hamstring injury.

"Dwayne Bravo was suffering from hamstring injury from past few months. We are expecting him to join us in India in 1st week of April. He may miss the initial couple of matches," Gujarat Lions franchise owner Keshav Bansal was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.

Bravo hurt his hamstring while attempting a diving catch for the Melbourne Renegades in a Big Bash League match, since then the West Indian ace have been out of action.
