All-rounder Dwayne Bravo will be West Indies captain Chris Gayle's deputy during the one-day tour of Zimbabwe later this month.

Bravo, whose only previous captaincy experience was during a trial match, admitted the appointment came as a surprise, but promised to give Gayle his full support.

"It is really a great feeling to be given the vice-captaincy," Bravo told the Trinidad Guardian.

"I never thought that this would come my way at such a young age but it has and I intend to give it my best shot. Gayle can expect 100% support from me on and off the field of play.

"Physically and mentally I am feeling great.

This gives me a lot of confidence going into the series and hopefully I can get good returns that would help me when we visit South Africa after [the Zimbabwe tour]."
