Cricket West Indies has opened the door for the potential return to the Windies ODI team for Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard and the Bravo brothers (Dwayne and Darren).

The move could potentially pave the way for the players to be involved in the 2019 World Cup.

The development has been aided by CWI’s decision to move the next domestic 50-over competition to October of this year instead of February 2019 – a switch that means there will be minimal clash between the Super50 and the various domestic T20 leagues around the world that the Caribbean stars are such an integral part of.

The players have been asked to play in the Super50, perform and push for a recall.

Although far from resolved, this would represent a distinct thaw in the relationship between the board and players in what has been a difficult year.

This breakthrough of sorts continues board CEO Graves’ policy of building bridges with disaffected players. Last year’s amnesty resulted in Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels returning to the team, Andre Russell’s recent selection into a West Indies squad, improved player contracts and now this olive branch.
