Kraigg Brathwaite, the 22-year-old Barbados opening batsman with Chanderpaul's characteristic of substance above style,
has been the only one of those in their early and mid-20s to assert himself as a Test player should.
On his return from the Tests in South Africa, he gathered hundreds in each innings against Guyana to follow a first round 182 against Trinidad and Tobago, increasing his average from five matches to 86.
Second and third on the list are the 30-plus left-handers Devon Smith and Narsingh Deonarine :
who were both recalled for the South Africa Tests when Gayle and Darren Bravo withdrew.
[size=12pt]
Chief selector Clive Lloyd and his panel had nowhere else to turn. [/size]
