General Manager Sam Presti said the three-time All-Star had knee swelling that would not subside, and the procedure was intended to solve the problem. He said doctors determined that a loose stitch was to blame for the swelling, that Westbrooks lateral meniscus has healed properly and the procedure was successful.Englands seamers must exploit any lateral movement on offer in Sundays World Twenty20 Final against West Indies to boost their chances of keeping Chris Gayle in check, says Nasser Hussain. Gayle smote an unbeaten century as West Indies powered their way to a six-wicket victory over Eoin Morgans men in Mumbai, swelling his world record of T20 international sixes to 98.Left-armer David Willey looked dangerous at the start of that match, dismissing Johnson Charles for a duck, but didnt bowl a single ball to Gayle in his first two overs. By the time he returned to the attack in the 16th over, Gayle had his eye in and hit him for 16 off four balls. Chris Gayles numbers from his innings against England in the Super 10s What you need against the West Indies batsmen is lateral movement, otherwise the likes of Gayle just hit through the line and if he gets going, therell be plenty of atmosphere, said Hussain.West Indies are not a one man show, as India found out in the semi-final; even if you get Gayle early there are other guys who can come in and hurt you.Gayle got away from David Willeys end in that first match; Willey was swinging the ball beautifully but Gayle never got down to his end. Player of the World T20? Vote for your favourite from Nassers XI If its gun-barrel straight to Gayle, as it was in Mumbai, hes outstanding at hitting through the line whereas hell find it tougher if Willey is swinging it here.Look at how Kagiso Rabada and Jasprit Bumrah got him out, bowling full and straight at the stumps.Then if he does get in, bowl wide at him; Englands seamers did that very well the other day against the New Zealand batsmen - Chris Jordan and Ben Stokes bowled those wide yorkers. Chris Jordan and Rob Key practice bowling the perfect yorker However, West Indies are not a one-man side - its not a case of get Gayle out, win the game, something they proved against India when their guys in the middle order got a hit.Thats why [West Indies captain] Darren Sammy is confident.England, who have played their last three games in Delhi, will encounter vastly different conditions for Sundays final at Eden Gardens and while Hussain says its too early to say with any certainty how the pitch will behave, he reckons Morgann might name an unchanged line-up at the toss. Darnell Savage Jr. Super Bowl Jersey. Rob Key and Nasser Hussain take a look at the pitch ahead of Englands ICC World T20 final against West Indies. Its completely different from Delhi, which had a little bit of pace, but I think there will be a little bit of grass on the surface, he said.England will be happy with that as it means they dont have to change their plans and can stick with their seam attack and two spinners.If it was an absolute spitting cobra, though, theyd have to think about bringing in Liam Dawson, their third spinner, to make his debut in a World Cup final.Hussain added: I think both captains [Eoin Morgan and Sammy] are very relaxed individuals. Watch the West Indies players celebrate in style after their World T20 semi-final win over India They arent going to be putting pressure on their teams and say: Do you know how important this game is, how many people are watching and what it means to the country?They will be the polar opposite, trying to make out its just another game of cricket, even though its a little bit more than that. It will come down to how many gun players in your side perform on the day.Watch the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 Final between England and West Indies live on Sky Sports 2 this Sunday from 1.30pm.
