Darren Bravo opts out of South Africa tour

Quote: West Indies batsman Darren Bravo has opted out of the tour of South Africa for personal reasons. Bravo is the only name missing from the original squad of 15 chosen last week by the WICB, which had made it mandatory that all players had to sign the tour contracts before the Tuesday afternoon. The WICB indicated through a media release that it would name a replacement for Bravo in due course.

Bravo had also asked the Trinidad & Tobago selectors earlier to not consider him for the regional four-day competition which started last week. The WICB did not disclose the circumstances behind Bravo's pull-out. "Darren Bravo wrote to chairman of selectors Clive Lloyd and requested not to be considered for the Test series due to personal reasons," the WICB release stated. "The WICB extends its best wishes to Bravo as he seeks to address his personal matters and looks forward to his return to the game."

this guy is really having some problems

Is it really to do with the contracts?

Let us see if any others pull out due to personal reasons.....

But yes he 'seems' rather troubled.....

Wish him the best and hope it is not stress related like those others we have seen

Well it would appear that's it is personal problems and the other 14 have signed, as article states "Bravo is the only name missing from the original squad of 15 chosen last week by the WICB, which had made it mandatory that all players had to sign the tour contracts before the Tuesday afternoon".

Or he is a right drama queen !!!  Grow up Lil Bravo !!!  How many people have the luxury of opting out of work after a year or thereabouts because of 'personal reasons'??

Looks like cricket is ruining Lil Lara's life !!!! ...... ROTFL  ;D

Caly,

Have they confirmed all contracts been signed?

Mail .. I would assume so given the above media release ....... that 14 of 15 players etc....

Ok I suppose I am quite sceptical!

How Much Personal Probs a guy can get in recent times... left new zealand tour aswell

It just gives an opportunity to someone else.
