Bring in Barath for Powell.
That's really the only possible change.
Sammy played well and he's captain so no call for Roach who is out of form.
And I don't believe Shillingford should be there. He should have been made to play regional or A Team matches before touring.
Of course there's the dream that maybe Gayle and Sarwan could be brought in.
Gayle for Braithwaite
Sarwan for Samuels or any other middle order player (except Shiv who is boss and Edwards who is in good form).
@Misologist
It amazes me that your first choice opener is fit and available and you do not play him!! If the logic was to reward Powell for his efforts in Bangladesh then you need to keep faith with him.
Shillingford should not be in the squad, so I agree with you, in my opinion but he is and should play but with Sammy in
I have no problems with Gayle being out of the team except the circumstances give me problems as he has not been treated in an equitable and consistent manner. As I said before Shiv had a similar outburst on Radio and having met with the WICB the matter was closed without asking him to retract statement or make an apology. So why treat Gayle differently? This is not about Tiger rather it is about the biased manner in which the incompetents at the WICB behave.
1. Bharath
2. Brathwaite
3. Bravo
4. Shiv
5. Samuels
6. Edwards K
7. Ramdin
8. Sammy
9. Shillingford
10.Bishoo
11.Edwards
I would have Rampaul ahead of Sammy but for obvious reasons this is not possible just now.
Might even have Samuels at 3 but his predominant back foot approach when he first comes to the crease may create problems whilst Bravo seems to have a better technique.
