Narine earlier this week withdrew from the global 50-over tournament as he continues to build his confidence in his remodelled bowling action.

His place has been awarded to Miller, according to the International Cricket Council, which has ratified the change as "an exceptional circumstance".

The 32-year-old Jamaican has taken 40 wickets at an average of 36.52 in his 45 one-day internationals, with his last appearance coming against England in March last year.
