West Indies head coach Daren Sammy has given the assurance that Cricket West Indies (CWI) has not called time on the careers of out of favour opener Kraigg Brathwaite, veteran pacer Kemar Roach and all-rounder Jason Holder.
In fact, speaking during a CWI press conference on Thursday, Sammy said there was still a possibility that the trio could suit up for the regional team in the near future.
His comments came after none of the three Barbadians was included in a 15-member squad to face India next month in two Tests.
When asked about the position regarding the trio, Sammy made it clear that they could all feature for West Indies at some point.
“For instance, you would see somebody like a Kraigg Brathwaite who is not into the Test team.
“I mean we know what Kraigg has done for us throughout his career, he played the most consecutive Test matches for the West Indies. However, over the last two years he has lost some form and we’re also trying to give some other guys an opportunity to fill a role that’s not been given the numbers over the last few series,” Sammy said.

This man already killed WI cricket. As if that is not enough damage he now wants to have the honor of performing the final rites.
RIP West Indies cricket ......

Sammy said he had discussions with Holder regarding the situation and the reasons behind his non-selection.
What about Josh DaSilva?

Would Roach not be a good option to have as a squad back-up.
J-Ho should be ahead of Greaves.
KB has had a run drought, the alternative options aren't any better.

clearly...that the 2nd highest run getter in the four day tournament cant make a test team, not even considered, is totally absurd.
