after what has been termed as a verbal throw down, D Bravo has been recommended as WI test captain following the resignation of K Brathwaite.

it has been reported that Sammy threw some targeted questions at Bravo as to how he would handle the captaincy under certain circumstances and whilst Bravo did not cloak himself in grace or glory he did not wilt under the pressure either.

in the end, Bravo won the support of the panel and it is now up to the board to sign off on the recommendation

This is probably Fake News but if I judge by how Bravo handled the TT captaincy a couple years ago, he is much more aggressive and astute than Kraigg.

Kraigg and Jason have been the two least tactically astute captains since Richardson. All three had the tactical acumen of an off stump

Surely you jest. Is this not the young man who publicly embarrassed a board official? Mr D Bravo should not be in the team let alone be thought of as Captaincy material. If one wants to be radical, give it to Mr Blackwood, or Mr Campbell, or Mr Imlach.

Darren Bravo as captain .Absolutely no! His mental state is always a question ?? Further , best you invest with a younger player like Shai Hope .
Outside prospects are two wickekeepers Da Silva and Imlach . Also, John Campbell .

Did a wholly unfit, liar of a CWI official (President to boot) not publicly lied on Mr.Bravo as well as retweeted a most disparaging tweet about Mr. Gayle? And, to think Crampy was wearing WI colors in the middle of cricket’s biggest International tournament at the time. KMDT!!

Sammy in his interview stated..

1. Wants players with experience...
2. Wants players with knowledge of playing in different conditions...
3. In talks with players, to bring them back in West Indies cricket...

Bravo may be making a comeback soon....talks done . When & Where....Awaited ..

I did stated that CWI did hold talks with Bravo.... Results not made public...

Now, this thread by Sudden......if true...then surely, Bravo is going to be appointed for this test championship cycle...2025-27.... but it appears Sudden has created a news....For Rumshop posters...

Other option would be Holder..... experience,played in different conditions, fulfill Sammy criteria...

In one month time, South Africa A series starts, that could shed some lights....
Top candidate..1.Silva, 2. Imlach, 3. Athanaze, 4. Hope,

Let's see who makes themselves available to play the A series and then we can have more discussion on this topic.
