FORMER West Indies Under-15 captain Zaheer Ali has joined the chorus in asking for more details on why Red Force batsman Darren Bravo, 34, was overlooked for the West Indies One Day International team for the upcoming three-match series against England.
Bravo staked a strong claim for selection as he ended the CG United Super50 tournament as the highest run scorer with 416 runs, and also led the TT Red Force to the title.
Ali said Bravo's presence would have been an asset on the regional team as he possesses good leadership qualities.
Ali said, "While you may want to have an injection of youth from a development perspective and looking at the future, you also have to look at striking a proper balance within the team...
"You cannot look at Darren Bravo from a batsman perspective (only) in my view. You need to look at him where he has just concluded leading TT to a regional title."

Zaheer Reaz Ali (born 17 January 1981) is a former Trinidadian cricketer who represented Trinidad and Tobago in West Indian domestic cricket. He played as a left-handed middle-order batsman.
Ali represented the West Indies under-19s at the 2000 Under-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka. He played in three of his team's matches, scoring 31 against the combined Americas under-19 team, 27 against Australia, and a golden duck against New Zealand.[1] After the World Cup, Ali made his first-class debut in April 2000, playing for a West Indies Select XI against the touring Zimbabweans

He won many battles on the field of play and now he is looking to win just as many in the courtroom, as last Sunday former West Indies Under-15 captain Zaheer Ali graduated with a Bachelor of Law Hons degree from the University of London.The left handed batsman made a premature exit from cricket at the age of 22, which took everyone by surprise. He remembers this decision in 2002 :"At the time a number of factors made me put down the cricket bat. I did not like what was happening with the administration of the sport at that period of time. I saw how the administration treated with some of the players and told myself I did not want to go that route.
"At the time there was no Stanford T20 cricket or IPL to keep one hoping for a secure financial future in staying with the game. I thought to myself that I needed to get away for a while and look to prepare myself for a future that would give me a sound living outside of the game."The former Queen's Royal College (QRC) student left the game and entered the police service, where he is still employed today in the Criminal Gang and Intelligence Unit - which is the most Elite Unit in the T&T Police Service.In 2008, after making strides within the TTPS decided to take matters further and enrolled at the Institute of Tertiary Tutors to read for a degree in law. "I really loved the field and being in the police service you are exposed to this on a daily basis. I made a decision to enrol in 2008 and although it was hard work, I have thrilled today that I have my degree. I have a lot to thank Ms. Gillian Lucky for, as principal she really motivated me and assisted me a lot.
"I want to go on further to get my LEC in order to get call to the bar and work in the field. I am also harbouring ambitions of getting into the TTPS executive and hopefully at a relatively young age and not the age of 60 or so. I am really keen on the law and want to make an impression."Ali says his love for the game of cricket will see him play the game until he can't walk anymore but he will only play it at a recreational level. However he ultimately wants to get involve in the administration of the game to give back to a sport that has given him so much.

The man got disillusioned with West Indies cricket at 22. What’s his claim to fame again? Three games in an under 19 World Cup averaging 10? Then gets disillusioned and walks away. I’m glad he’s successful in whatever career he’s chosen for himself; but his opinions carry as much weight as any blogger , or general public commenting on West Indies cricket.

And your headline is highly misleading. He hasn’t cautioned wicb, he’s just shared his opinion, which frankly is worth less than the paper he wrote it on

When Alice meets Humpty Dumpty in Alice in Wonderland, illustrated here by John Tenniel, they have a famous exchange of views about the meaning of words. 'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less. '

Point out where has he directly cautioned WICB and about what?
Just those paragraphs where he cautions them
This has no bearing on the fact that he’s a nobody to begin with, and is just expressing his views, just like any reader has the right too

There are many who had strength and a fighting spirit and did exceptionally well, but never got anywhere because West Indian selectors like your loving Haynes was always around to do the dirty on some players.It really is useless talking to you coz you are a Tit hater big time.

Who are you talking about?
Darren Ganga who played fifty tests without doing anything of note?
Name a few players who in your words did exceptionally well but did not get a run

I don’t hate Ganga, but do you think he deserved as long a rope as he got? Same with Devon smith (not a Trini)

He doesn't deserve a play because he is an uppity once-rural Indian Trinidadian? I accept him. All people deserve a chance including Keith Arthurton and Rawle Lewis....Ganga's centuries were oustanding-much like Hetmeyer.
