Bravo not returning to Tests

Published: Guardian

Dwayne Bravo
VINODE MAMCHAN

All rounder Dwayne Bravo is not returning to the Test fold, at least not in short term, as talks with current coach Phil Simmons broke down. Simmons met with Bravo, Sunil Narine and Keiron Pollard recently and Bravo revealed that he would not be making himself available to return to “whites.” According to Bravo: “I met with coach Simmons and at the moment I am not prepared to come back to Test cricket. The conditions are not right for a return because it is even more unfair to us than before.

“Right now we are hearing that the West Indies Players Association (WIPA) signed a new deal with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) but we as players have no knowledge as to what is the deal. However, from what is on offer, at least what we have heard is much less. You can’t want players to sacrifice and come out and play for what they are offering.

At the moment there is no incentive to come out and play Test cricket.” Bravo however added that he would continue to play limited overs and T20 cricket for the West Indies once selected. Simmons revealed recently that he would meet with the Indian Premier League (IPL) in an effort to find out from there whether they were still interested in playing for the West Indies at the Test level.

Bravo was dropped for the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand earlier this year and also overlooked for the limited overs matches against South Africa that preceded the World Cup. He was also replaced as captain of the ODI team, after he led a walkout of the Indian tour last October, over a payment structure dispute with the WICB.

He was however selected on the West Indies team for the T20 series against South Africa in January and that was the last time he appeared in maroon. Since then he has been playing T20 cricket in India (the Indian Premier League IPL) and currently he is leading the T&T Red Steel in the current Hero Caribbean Premier League T20 tournament.

that is why deh picked a young incompetent team..so they can control them..AND PAY THEM NOTHING.  SO THE 'OFFICIALS' CAN THEN HAVE A BUNDLE TO PAY THEMSELVES AT THE HIGHEST RATES POSSIBLE

and a secret deal could be signed with wavel hinds and no one complain. no more gayle, polly, bravo, shive..or anyone who could stand up and fight back

THIS IS WHAT TRAITOR KETCHIM WANTS THE PLAYERS TO ACCEPT AND PLAY FOR IN PEACE AND LOVE. 

ONLY DRACONIAN EXPLOITATION FLOWING FROM THE WICB BUT BRABITS MUST ACCEPT IT AND DANCE TO WICB SONG WHEN HE CAN MAKE HIS OWN MUSIC.

KETCHIM IS A SABOTEUR.

RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES WE CAN SEE HOW AND WHY WEST INDIES CRICKET HAS BEEN KILLED OFF..THE WICB AND ITS BLOOD-THIRSTY ADMINISTRATION

SKAMERON AS WICB CHAIR IS ACTUALLY WORSE THAN ALL OF THE CHAIRS FROM 1995 COMBINED

SKAMERON IS SO THORUGH AS A BUREAUCRAT HE IS RAZING THE GROUND AFTER HIM, AS HE PASSES. LEAVING NOT A SCRAP IN HIS WAKE.

I HAVE NEVER EVER SEE AS BRUTAL AND COMPLETE AN EXPLOITER IN THE WEST INDIES ELITE AS BAD AS THIS..AS SKAMERON IS WITH THE WICB.

THE WEST INDIES TEAM WONT GET BETTER.  THE OLDER PLAYERS ARE NOT COMING BACK..AND WHAT IS MORE LLOYD WONT PICK THEM. THE TEAM THAT JUST GOT WASTED BY THE OZ IS THE ONE WE ARE STUCK WITH.

THATS ITS FORUM.  THE CRICKET IS FIANLLY DONE

you see dat deh ketchim..deh mus' have a term fuh it...dyslexia or something

you keep repeating it.. have done so a million times....word for word, no deviation.  but it is not true, bears no relationship to the truth. yet you keep going on with it.

there can be only 2 explanations:  you are playing propaganda games hoping that the more you repeat the lie, the more we become convinced of it. 

indeed that or something is wrong!

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."
