West Indies need to rethink Dwayne Bravo's exclusion from ODI side in light of their slump

Firstpost  

With things not looking any rosier for West Indies, they might have to relax on their policies a tad and bring back Bravo to improve their shoddy performances with the ball. Another player, Samuel Badree, who has been mighty effective in T20Is for the Windies hasn’t even been given an ODI debut till date which is rather strange because the trend around the globe is to use wrist spinners to take wickets in the middle period of ODIs, where cricket admittedly gets a tad boring. Since his last ODI in October 2014, Windies have been the worst among teams in terms of average runs per wicket and their economy rate has also been equally dismal. What makes Bravo’s absence conspicuous is that in ODIs involving the dynamic all-rounder, Windies’ runs per wicket rate drops to 31.06 and the economy to 4.99, immensely better numbers to what they have churned out without him.
