Darren Bravo is set to play his first Test in over two years, after being named in West Indies’ squad for the first Test against England in Barbados next week. The 29-year-old batsman last appeared in the longest format for Windies in the November 2016 against England, in which he scored 11 and 3 in two innings.
Over his career, the left-handed batsman has played 49 Tests since making his debut back in 2010, and has scored 3,400 runs at an average of 40. He has been given the chance to kickstart a once-promising career, which was interrupted by disputes with the Cricket West Indies Board. Paceman Alzarri Joseph, who lined up against England in Tuesday’s warm-up match against a Cricket West Indies President’s XI, was also named in the squad.
“With the return of Darren Bravo, who will add value to a batting department, we expect to see marked improvement,” chairman of selectors Courtney Browne were quoted as saying by Daily Mail.
