ST JOHN’S, Antigua—Mystery off-spinner Sunil Narine has once again chosen the Twenty20 format over Test cricket, after opting out of consideration for the two-Test series against Bangladesh.

I don't know about ungrateful but it is a silly move at best.

He may be sitting for the Test team, who knows, but if things go as they were in the last IPL, it seems he will sit there too.

Where is it better to sit? You sit for money or you sit for cricket career?

Russell? Test cricket?

Am I the only one who's completely bowled by this one?

And which team is Russell supposed to be playing for in the Champions League? Delhi didn't qualify....

EDIT: I'd forgotten he now plays for KKR...shows how much attention I paid to the IPL.

Unless Russell had a written guarantee from the selectors he would have been stupid
not accept the CL contract

So patriotic that he decided to run away and retire from tests when his captaincy was stripped after the infamous NZ tour.
