In order for West Indies cricket team improve, we must move on past Dwayne Bravo, Chris Gayle, and those players of that generation. Why would you recall a player who is prepared to walk out of a tour that results in cost of $42 million? A player who has consistently chosen his IPL and other foreign franchises over West Indies cricket? Why would you continue to depend on one who has clearly demonstrated that he will play only under his terms, so that if he does not like the coach he resigns, and returns when the coach is to his liking?

In the aftermath of the 2011 World Cup when it was decided to work with new players, the team, just like the present, began to show signs of improvement and cohesion; the lobby to bring back these guys produced no qualitative improvement, neither in attitudes or performance. Don't let this happen a second time, move on without them, you cannot keep discarding young players to accommodate them; a team needs stability to grow. Don't set that precedent or the next generation would follow suit.

In reply to Besar

Task force did find the Major reasons for the Fiasco. I did not see Bravo's name in it. Did you?



Before the great Hillarie discarded the Senior Players after the 2011 WC and Chose Sammy as his puppet, when did Bravo choose IPL and Foreign Franchises over WI cricket?


Would be great to see the data that supports the above assertion
