The 27-year-old Jamaican has endured a miserable time in Africa.

The left-handeder hit just 59 runs in six innings in the first three Tests against South Africa but did collect five wickets in the First Test in Johannesburg.

West Indies trail 2-0 in the Test series with the fourth and final match beginning at Centurion on Friday.

Hinds is the fourth West Indies player forced to return home early from the tour after Marlon Samuels, Jerome Lawson and Omari Banks.
