2017 CPL: 5 players who can make a comeback to T20Is

#3. Dwayne Bravo

The CPL could be a golden opportunity for the 33-year old to make a comeback to the national team

One of the finest all-rounders in Twenty20 cricket last played for the West Indies during their tour to the United Arab Emirates almost a year back. Bravo scored a half-century in the first match but his knock was redundantly patient as per T20 standards.

Bravo’s performances with the ball was quite underwhelming as his economy rate throughout the series was 8.5. DJ was hence dropped from the team but following that, he put in some impressive performances at the Bangladesh Premier League where he was the top wicket-taker of the competition with 21 wickets at an economy rate of 7.55 as his team Dhaka Dynamites went on to win the tournament.

After missing the IPL due to injury, Bravo joined the Trinbago Knight Riders (his only CPL franchise) and had a good start to the CPL by bowling a spell of 2/23 in the opening match of the competition. He took another three wickets in the next two matches and is currently the joint second highest wicket-taker of the competition with 5 wickets at an economy rate of 8. His batting on the contrary has been rather poor.

Bravo will be looking to make a comeback to the national side by putting up a strong show in the tournament and given the condition of West Indies, they dearly need an all-rounder of Bravo’s capabilities.
