Bravo, Gayle accept WICB retainer contracts once more

After years of refusing  offers, senior West Indies players  Dwayne Bravo and Chris Gayle  players have decided to once more sign West Indies Cricket Board retainer contracts  for the 2013 to 2014 period.

“I would like to believe it was a re commitment to West  Indies cricket  from both of them ( Dwayne Bravo and Chris Gayle),” WICB CEO Michael Muirhead told the Trinidad Express yesterday.

For Gayle and Bravo, the move represents a turnaround after they last refused WICB retainer contracts back in 2010. But the third man who did not sign on that year, Kieron Pollard, is still not on the list of retained players. However, off-spinner Sunil Narine, who had once previously opted out of a contract is now on the list which also includes prolific Test batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
