CHAIRMAN OF SELECTORS Courtney Browne has described Twenty20 World Cup hero Carlos Brathwaite as an “investment” in West Indies cricket and argues his inclusion to face England in the three-match One-Day International series should not be viewed purely in terms of recent form.
The 28-year-old all-rounder’s selection has been questioned in some quarters, especially in light of his recent failures, but Browne said Brathwaite was still at a very early stage of his development and the selection panel was focused on getting the best out of him.
“He’s a young player who is a very exciting player on his day, who hasn’t played a lot of international cricket either. He’s an investment and we all know if we get him right what he can produce for us,” Browne said in a radio interview. (CMC/EZS)
