I never refused the board to let me play for the national team: Dwayne Bravo
Bravo has played 295 international matches for West Indies. Dwayne Bravo (Photo by Francois Nel/Getty Images) Former West Indies cricket team all-rounder Dwayne Bravo recently made a big statement regarding selection in the national team. 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. If he is not selected in the national team, then obviously any player will play franchise cricket. Dwayne Bravo gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently, while defending himself in a conversation with Mpumelelo Mbangwa, Dwayne Bravo said- I never declined any tour of West Indies, or made myself available for selection to play a franchise tournament. 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…

OTD in 1968: On this day Sir Garfield Sobers became the first batsman in the world to hit 6 sixes in an over
Great West Indies cricketer Sir Garry Sobers created history on 31 August 1968 by hitting 6 sixes in an over. Sir Garfield Sobers (Photo Source: Getty Images) Every day some records are made and broken in the game of cricket. There are some performances in the history of cricket which can never be forgotten and those three historical performances are – Brian Lara’s unbeaten 501 runs at Edgbaston in 1994, Jim Laker’s 90 runs in 19 balls at Old Trafford in 1956 and Sir Garfield Sobers’ six sixes in an over at Swansea in 1968. West Indies’ great cricketer Sir Gary Sobers created history on 31 August 1968 by hitting 6 sixes in an over. In which match and against which bowler did he achieve this feat? Let us tell you- Sir Garfield Sobers came out to bat after Nottinghamshire lost 5 wickets In the match against Glamorgan in the English County Championship, Sir Garfield Sobers hit 6 sixes in an over. This was the first time such a thing was seen in first-class cricket. In the match, openers Brian Bolus and Bob White gave Nottinghamshire a great start by sharing a partnership of 126 runs, after which Graham Frost scored 50 runs. Glamorgan bowler Malcolm Nash was back on the attack, dismissing Balos, Frost and wicketkeeper Derek Murray to guide the team back into contention. Nottinghamshire were 308 for 5 when captain Garry Sobers came out to bat. The score was 358/5 with Sobers unbeaten on 40. Glamorgan captain Tony Lewis then asked bowler Malcolm Nash to bowl spin against Garry Sobers. Nash, who usually bowled medium pace, had other plans and he smashed 6 sixes off 6 balls bowled by Nash. This is how Sir Garry Sobers hit 6 sixes On the first ball of the over, Sir Garfield Sobers hit a six towards long-on. The second ball was short, but he used his strength to hit it towards deep square leg. On the third ball, Sobers again went down the ground and hit a classic six. Sobers then completed the six by sending the fourth ball to square leg. Malcolm Nash felt that Sobers would definitely make a mistake and that is what happened on the fifth ball. Roger Davis took the catch at long-on, but he fell across the boundary rope with the ball in his hands. And then the umpire declared it a six. The last six of the over hit by Sir Garry Sobers went out of the ground and reached the bus stop. It took time to get the new ball, so Sir Garry Sobers, who was unbeaten on 76, decided to declare the innings. Nottinghamshire won the match by 166 runs. Since 1968, Ravi Shastri (Ranji Trophy, 1985), Herschelle Gibbs (ODI World Cup, 2007), Yuvraj Singh (T20 World Cup, 2007) and Ross Whiteley (T20 Blast) have hit 6 sixes in competitive cricket.

Also, veteran all-rounder Deandra Dottin, who retired from cricket in 2022, has returned to this team.

She was the third-highest run-scorer in the recently concluded Women’s CPL, scoring a total of 113 runs at an average of 28.55 and a strike rate of 114.88. On the other hand, on the return of the player who scored the fastest century in women’s T20 history to the Caribbean women’s team, Cricket West Indies President Kishore Shallow said- We have a good mix of experienced and young players. We have some players who are as young as 19. I think Zayda is a lot younger. Apart from that, there are one or two more young players. So, I am really happy with the selection of this team. Apart from that, I think as West Indies, we are all excited to see Deandra Datin back. West Indies’ 15-member squad for the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup: Hayley Matthews (captain), Sherman Campbell, Alia Alleyne, Afy Fletcher, Ashmini Munisar, Cheeden Nation, Chinelle Henry, Deandra Datin, Karishma Ramharak, Mandy Manghroo, Narissa Crafton, Kayna Joseph, Shamila Connell, Stafanie Taylor, Jayda James.
