Samuels, Bravo and Braithwaite decline central contacts from WICB

WEST Indies players Marlon Samuels, Darren Bravo and Carlos Braithwaite have declined central contract offers from the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB).

The three have declined to take up contracts that, according to the WICB, range from US$100,000 to US$150,000 per annum.
The contracts for the period are based on performances from October 1, 2015 to September 2016.
Meantime, 12 of the senior men’s players have accepted contracts.
They include a number of newcomers including fast bowler Alzarri Joseph. Others that have been retained by the WICB include Roston Chase, Shai Hope, Jomel Warrican, Devendra Bishoo, Jermaine Blackwood, Kraigg Braithwaite, Miguel Cummins, Shane Dowrich, Shannon Gabriel, Jason Holder, and Leon Johnson.
The WICB also has an additional 90 players on contract for the six franchises. Their salaries range from US$15,600 to US$30,000.00. These players are members of the first class set up who play in the four-day Professional Cricket League which begins on November 11 and the Super 50 scheduled for January to February 2017.
Meanwhile, the number of women on WICB central contracts has been increased from 11 to 15. The value of those contracts range from US$12,000 to $30,000.00.
Merissa Aguilleira, Shermaine Campbell, Shamilla Connell, Britney Cooper, Shanel Daley, Deandra Dottin, Afy Fletcher, Kycia Knight, Kyshona Knight, Heyley Matthews, Anisha Mohammed, Shaquana Quintyne, Shakera Selman, Tremayne Smartt and Stafanie Taylor have all accepted their contracts.(Sportsmax.com)

Why would Samuels be awarded any contract?

Not sure that Bravo would be in demand for T20 competitions!

How do these $$ compare to other # 7, 8 and 9 ICC rankings  :-\
