The West Indies Cricket Board has announced the squad for the three-match T20 and ODI series against Sri Lanka starting from March 3. Explosive batsman Chris Gayle has returned to the team for the T20 series.
Along with him, fast bowler Fiddle Edwards has also been included in the team after almost 9 years. In such a situation, questions are arising as to why T20 specialist and mystery spinner Sunil Narine is not returning to international cricket.
Chief selector of West Indies cricket team Roger Harper has said that Sunil Narine is not ready to return to international cricket.
Narine played his last T20 International match for West Indies in August 2019. At the same time, he has not been part of the West Indies team in ODIs since 2016 and 2013 in Tests.
Roger Harper told a cricket website, “Sunil Narine gave us hints that he is not yet ready to make a comeback to international cricket. He is still working on improving his game and getting himself ready and that was the reason for his non-selection in the squad for the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka. “
