I am voting today or the recall of Darren Bravo to the West Indies 50 overs team.

I would also recall Sherfane Rutherford.

Yadi's XI

1.) Brandon King
2.) Kyle Mayers
3.) Darren Bravo
4.) Shai Hope (Captain)
5.) Nicholas Pooran
6.) Alick Athanaze
7.) Roston Chase
8.) Romario Sheperd
9.) Gudakesh Motie
10.) Alizari Josephs
11.) Dominic Drakes.

Reserves: Sherfane Rutherford, Kacey Carty, Mathew Forde.

Jamar Hamilton, Shane Dowrich, Daniel Doram.

I like Yadi's team. I dont know if King is fit to play. Even if he is, he cannot walk back onto the team. I would have Athas open with Mayers and bring in Carty or Dowrich between Hope and Pooran. I would also go for Forde before Drakes, leaving Drakes as a reserve. I dont know if Doram gets picked before Hosein (as a reserve). On the assumption that Pooran may not be available, i will go with Rutherford

Cariah or walsh not given consideration?i wohld like to see oshane thomas partner joseph

And back to the Test team as well.

Bravo for Chief Water-man

When he visited?

All who saying bring back bravo really don't like the guy, at a young age bravo was able to run away from the fast bowlers now he is just months away from his 35 birthday i don't think he will be able to run that quickly so he might get lick down worse than bonner by one of those fast bowlers .

or he might duck and bend down ...

King is inconsistent at the top
Chase underperforms on the intl level and ordinary w ball and bat
Your 12 moreover is all rounders heavy.
Windies need 6 specialist batsmen
3 genuine pace bowlers 1 all rounder
1 genuine spin bowler
And regions best and only intl level captain A RESTORED AND FINALLY RESPECTED AND HONORED
DARREN BRAVO: Windies ODI Captain December 2023.

Anyone else saw the Darren Bravo interview on Sportsmax? It was so refreshingly honest. Bravo even said that he felt that there were times he should have been picked and wasnt and times when he did not deserve to be picked and was. The man has had his troubles on and off the field but I just feel that his head is currently in the right space for him to be considered again for WI duty. I wish him good luck and the selectors good sense.

Bravo and Greaves must be in the mix!

If Bravo is selected,
No one can really put up an argument.
The new look Bravo looks mature.
However, I still have an issue with his dot-ball percentage.
Scoring quick against the opposition in this Super50 is easy
as the bowlers bowled many bad-balls
Hingland should not present those bad-balls.
However I am interested to see how Bravo does in international duty.

A line-up of: - Assuming Greaves and King out injured

Mayers
Alex
Bravo
Hope
Carty

Seems reasonable
