Makes himself available for internationals after revealing in a statement that he lost his father earlier in the year.

Allen, the left-arm spin-bowling allrounder, declined a retainer contract with Cricket West Indies earlier this year and has been absent for "personal reasons" throughout West Indies' home season.
