CRICKET West Indies (CWI) CEO Johnny Grave has revealed that a number of top international T20 players, previously involved in much-publicised spats with the board, could put themselves in contention for a spot at next year’s ICC World Cup by taking part in the upcoming regional season.

The Bravo brothers, Darren and Dwayne, Sunil Narine and Kieron Pollard have all found themselves in disputes with the CWI in recent years, which has in many instances prevented them from suiting up for the regional team.

None of the players, for example, played a part in the team’s ICC World Cup qualifiers and were ignored for the recent Charity T20 match at Lord’s Cricket Ground.

Following what Grave has described as positive talks with the handlers of the players and a change in scheduling for the regional Super50 tournament the players could all be set for a return to the fold.

“Jimmy Adams (director cricket operations) and I met with Dwayne, Darren, Pollard and Narine’s agent in Trinidad. We met with them individually because they all have different circumstances. I would describe the meetings as positive, as everyone was looking to the future rather than the past,” Graves told ESPN Cricinfo.

“The overall message to Pollard, the Bravo brothers and Narine was ‘come and play in the Super50 Cup’, so that Courtney (Browne, chairman of selectors) and his selection panel will have all the players in the system playing,” he added.

“This will not only increase the standard and hopefully give the panel a headache but will help our selectors better gauge and assess our young players if they’re scoring runs against Dwayne Bravo or Sunil in the final overs or getting Darren (Bravo) and Pollard out.”
