Bravo last played a T20I in 2016 and had decided to retire from internationalꦛ cricket in October two years later. Kieron Pollard🦩 will continue to lead the side.
“Dwayne Bravo was recalled with the specific intention of bolstering our ‘death’ bowling, which was identified as an area that really needs improving. His record in this department speaks for itself. He will also be able to act as a mentor to the other ‘death’ bowlers and lend his experience wherever needed,” Cricket West Indies’ lead selector, Roger Harper, said in a statement.
While Fabian Allen and Keemo Paul weren’t considered because of injury, Jason Holder has been rested for the series keeping his workload in mind.
The two teams meet for the first game in Gre𒐪nada on January 15 and then play the next two games in St Kitts on Janua✱ry 18 and 19.
Earlier, West Indies beat Ireland by 5 wickets [DLS method] in the third ODI to sweep the series 3-0.
