Darren Bravo seems to have blocked his own way back in

The Darren Bravo controversy has no end and although the No. 3 batsman was expected to make a return to the Test squad for this series that did not happen after the spat with the board wasn’t resolved. Bravo launched a claim of damages against the board last week, officially ruling him out of selection.

Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope and Vishaul Singh could not quite fill in for the veteran batsman. Notably, Hetmyer and Singh struggled against the seamers and spinners alike which will make the selection for the second Test quite interesting. But it looks unlikely that Bravo will be back in the reckoning anytime soon after his all-out war against the WICB.
