T20 World Cup is ahead. West Indies are co-hosts with the United States. Their preparations have already started to do well in the home field. Teammates want Sunil Narine in the team as part of that. But Narine is not listening to his teammates. This is what West Indies captain Rovman Powell said.
Narine is in great form in T20. The all-rounder scored his first T20 century against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) yesterday. Powell was on the field in this match. At the end of the match, the Caribbean captain opened up about Narine’s return.
Narine played a brilliant innings of 109 runs against Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday night. Scored a century off just 49 balls. A total of 13 fours and six sixes came from his bat in an innings of 56 balls. Strikerate is around 195. Even if the team did not win, the innings stole the spotlight.
After the match, Powell was asked if they had any plans to bring Narine back to the national team. Powell directly stated that they want Narine back. He himself has repeatedly told Narain for the past one year. He is also telling the rest. But Nachorabanda Narin did not respond to their call.
“For the last 12 months I’ve been telling Narine (about a return to the national team),” Powell said. But he is not listening to anyone. I asked his close friends Pollard, Bravo and Puran but he refused. Hope someone can convince him before the party election.’
Mainly because of the financial problems of the national team, Narine has kept the jersey. Narine has played 6 Tests and 65 ODIs for West Indies in his international career. Although he has played 504 matches in T20 cricket so far, he has played only 51 matches for the national team.
