I feel like a kid again: Dwayne Bravo on Windies comeback

The Hindu  

The battle-hardened Dwayne Bravo, at 36, returns to the West Indies squad “feeling like a kid,” more than three years after playing his last international match. For Bravo, who fell out with Cricket West Indies following a bitter dispute in 2014, the path back into international cricket was an arduous one. I feel like a kid again when I first get a call from that ‘welcome back to the team and play international cricket’, and they were looking forward to have me back,” Bravo said in a radio interview with Trinidad’s I955 FM. ‘Series by series’ “If you look at the 50-overs World Cup, if you look at the series in India, both in T20Is and in ODIs, we lack a really, really proper death-overs specialist.” Asked about the prospect of sealing a spot in West Indies’ T20 World Cup squad, Bravo said he wasn’t not thinking so far ahead.
