<p>International Cricket Council had confirmed that the Event Technical Committee of the World Cup had approved Ambris as a replacement player for Russell.</p>
<p>The Event Technical Committee of the World Cup consists of ICC, ETC chairman Geoff Allardice, ICC representative Campbell Jamieson, CWC representative Steve Elworthy, host representative Alan Fordham, and Harsha Bhogle and Kumar Sangakkara, both independent representatives.</p>
<p>Ambris, a top-order batsman, has played six Tests and six ODIs for the West Indies.</p>
<p>West Indies have a very slim chance of qualifying for the semi-finals now as they are in the eighth position on the World Cup table and will be looking for results of other fixtures to go their way.</p>
