KOLKATA – West Indies captain Carlos Brathwaite believes rookie fast bowler Oshane Thomas has a bright future once he continues to improve on the encouraging start to his international career.
The 21-year-old Jamaican was fast-tracked into the Windies limited overs side for the tour of India after playing just two first-class matches and though he has not experienced overwhelming success, has raised a few eyebrows with his raw pace.
Sunday’s opening Twenty20 International was a case in point as Thomas bowled with express pace in a four-over spell to claim two for 21 as India wobbled before recovering, to reach a paltry target of 110 at Eden Gardens.
“I don’t know what the long-term plans would be for him from the selection panel but I had a few chats with him about using this opportunity,” Brathwaite said. (CMC)
