He might be the oldest member in West Indies’ T20 squad for the Ireland series, but Dwayne Bravo feels like a “kid” after getting the national call-up that will mark his return to international cricket after a nearly four-year long hiatus.
According to Bravo, the three Ireland T20Is, which begin on January 15, were on his mind when he came out of retirement in December. So when he got a call from Roger Harper, the former West Indies allrounder and current chairman of selectors, last week, Bravo could not hide his excitement.
“It’s a great feeling,” Bravo told the Trinidad-based radio station I955 FM yesterday. “I feel like a kid again when I first get a call from Mr Harper that welcomed [me] back to the team [to play international cricket and they were looking forward to have me back. It is something that was always on my mind since the change of leadership and stuff. So just happy I get the opportunity to represent the region again and I am looking forward to doing my best.”

They dropped a young strong man for a old ass dancing Harry,inmagine dropping the top all rounder , citing tiredness, whose under 30 , and playing a 36 old .
They did not want to play him against India , since he would have fake being hurt, but they play him against the weak green men to bolster his numbers.

The reason why Australia is usually the top rated cricket team in the World is because they would not have gone back to a player at the stage Bravo is at, they would have invested in Paul and Shepherd. The WI administration have to be more forward thinking in their selections,

This is not an easy ask. Each new administration's most forward thinking plan is to secure another term. So if they can identify and appease those members they deem to be friendly to keep them in then that's a big deal....
