West Indies captain Dwayne Bravo has admitted that he is disappointed with not having the opportunity to play against Kevin Pietersen in the limited-overs series.
Pietersen's international career was brought to an end earlier this month following reports of disagreements between the batsman and other members of the England squad during the Ashes series this winter.
Bravo claims that he would prefer to be facing Pietersen in the Caribbean and insists that international cricket will miss the 33-year-old.
"I would have loved KP to be here," Bravo told reporters. "He's a player that the world loves to see play cricket.
"Despite his problems, personally I love to see him play, and it would have been good for us to actually play against him.
"It's good for international cricket to have someone of his calibre to continue playing."
The first ODI between England and the West Indies takes place in Antigua on Friday.
