'Way clear for Bravo's return to Windies squad'

India TV News  

Port of Spain: Darren Sammy's removal as captain and subsequent retirement from Test cricket will pave the way for all-rounder Dwayne Bravo's return to the squad, former West Indies opener Bryan Davis said. Sammy, who led the Test squad for nearly four years, was axed Friday in favour of wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin following which the all-rounder announced he was quitting the longer format of the game.“I think Dwayne has been unfairly left out for the last four years. With the selectors not wanting to play two fast bowling all-rounders, Bravo had to stay out," said Davis, who played four Tests against Australia in 1965.“Bravo's record speaks for itself. He made 1,323 runs at 21.68 with a single Test century against England at Trent Bridge in 2012 and grabbed 84 wickets at 35 apiece.Bravo, who replaced Sammy as one-day captain last May, has scored 2,200 runs from 40 Tests at an average of 31 with three centuries and has taken 86 wickets at an average of nearly 40.While Bravo has not played a Test in 3.5 years, Davis believes this is where the strength of his game remains.“He has been playing a lot of T20 cricket but he is actually a better Test bowler.
