It is worth noting that Bravo played his last international match against Australia in 2021, his last ODI in 2014 and his last Test in 2010. So, year after year, the perception has been formed that players like Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, including Dwayne Bravo, do not keep themselves available for the national team in order to focus more on franchise cricket. But on this issue, Bravo has recently given a big statement saying that he never made himself unavailable to play for the national team.

Never. The way the board has said that these people don’t want to play for West Indies, these people have no interest in West Indies cricket and these people are only concerned about playing in the leagues. But you play those leagues because you don’t get selected. So, you think if you are not selected, then okay let’s play league cricket. Bravo further said- In the year 2010, I was happy to continue my Test cricket career, but it was cut short by the board. This was not my decision or my choice. My Test career ended after playing 40 Test matches at the age of 26. I was dropped and told that two all-rounders cannot play in the team, Darren Sammy was the captain at that time. So…
