He also slammed West Indies selectors for not picking off-spinner Sunil Narine, all-rounder Dwayne Bravo and pacer Ravi Rampaul in the touring West Indies Test squad for the ongoing series.
"The selectors have got it wrong. I don't know if they have labelled Narine a T20 or ODI bowler. He's the best in the world in that version in the game. That does not mean he would not improve his game for the Test format. Knowing that you've a Test at the Eden, where he plays for KKR, a Test in Mumbai, I see no reason why leave a successful cricketer like Narine back home," he said.
"Bravo baffles me as well. He deserves to be in any Windies team. I'm baffled just like you. They have won with this line up, but it's always going to be difficult in India. We did not turn up at the Eden at all with the intensity. Let's hope selectors get it right."
