Paul Adams, the unorthodox left-arm wrist spinner, will stay on with the South African squad in the Caribbean for the seven-match one-day series against the West Indies starting in Jamaica on Saturday.

Adams is effectively the third-choice spinner name for the one-day squad following the return to South Africa of Nicky Boje who has had surgery to repair an injured tendon in his left shoulder and a fractured finger that cost Boje's named replacement, Gulam Bodi, a place in the squad.

Bodi fractured the little finger on his left hand playing Lancashire League cricket on Saturday.

Adams, who came in for Boje in the South African team for the fifth and final Test match against the West Indies in Jamaica, has struggle to regain his form following the dislocation of a finger in the fifth Test match against England at the beginning of 2000.

He has never quite established himself as an international one-day bowler, mostly because his unusual action frequently makes for one or two loose deliveries an over. He has, however, played 15 ODIs over the years since making his debut against England in 1996 and he played in the 1996 World Cup quarterfinal against the West Indies in Karachi.

Adams will effectively be the second spinner in the one-day squad with Boland's Justin Ontong having arrived in the West Indies over the weekend.
