Bravo doubtful of return to Windies team
Sharjah, Dec 16 (IANS) West Indian all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has expressed doubts on his possible return to national colours in any format.
Bravo, who last represented the Caribbean side in the T20 series against Pakistan in September last year, felt his chances of making a comeback to the national side are remote.
“As far as internationals are concerned, I have been dropped from the West Indies team. I was dropped while I was fit. I don’t think now, at 34, it would make any sense coming back,” Bravo was quoted as saying by espncricinfo.
The 34-year-old Trinidad all-rounder is currently playing the inaugural T10 league, where he is part of the Virender Sehwag-led Maratha Arabians side.
Bravo now sees his future solely in the various short-format leagues around the world.
“I am looking at these tournaments as a chance to continue playing cricket. As long as I can play cricket, I am happy. I just need to see what is left for me, for my fans to see Dwayne Bravo playing cricket. That is my priority,” he said.
Bravo has not played Test cricket in seven years, and had not featured in an ODI since 2014.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
