The West Indies’ hunt for a semi-final spot in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 is under threat, as the team gets set to face hosts England, on Friday morning. The Caribbean side will be boosted by the availability of all-rounder, Andre Russell, who the WINDIES camp says is fit enough to take part in the clash. Veteran opener, Chris Gayle, continues to fight his back problems, but he is also expected to feature. England, on the other hand, are confident of Jos Buttler’s involvement. Buttler is now said to be ready after suffering a hip injury. But, fast-bowler Mark Wood, who has an ankle issue, remains a doubt for the game.

It is now imperative that reasonableness if not common sense prevails and the selectors abandon what seems to be a paradoxical inclusion of Braithwaite in these one day teams. He must not be selected tomorrow. Roach must play. Braithwaite is at best a club cricketer with no upsides. I predict that if he or Nurse plays tmro it will for some time be regrettable.
