'IPL Stars Should Not Walk Back Into Test Team'

Fri, May 22, '15

Cricket great Curtly Ambrose doesn't believe the West Indies' Indian Premier League (IPL) players should walk back into the Test team.

"For me, I think not," he said yesterday at Lord's. He was there to attend the first test between England and New Zealand, and promote his new autobiography, Time to Talk.

"Not disrespecting the players who have gone to the IPL, but you can't really decide to go away, and walk straight back into the team. For me, that's a concern."

Ambrose was brought into the West Indies staff by then-coach Ottis Gibson a year ago as, of course, a bowling coach, and has been retained by Phil Simmons, who took over in March.
