West Indies’ loss is Mumbai Indians’ gain, as Dwayne Bravo has made his way to South Africa to play in The Indian Premier League.
Bravo is feeling his way back to fitness following ankle surgery and has been deemed not fit enough to feature in Test cricket for West Indies.
As such he has been omitted from the Test series with England in early May, which has freed him up to play for Mumbai in The IPL.
“The situation is that I have been advised by doctors to get my ankle stronger before I can play five-day cricket,” Bravo told Cricinfo. “The plan is to join the [West Indian] team in England when the one-day series begins.”
The one-day series with England does not begin until May 21, meaning Bravo, who proved an astute signing by Mumbai last year, can feature in the group stage of The IPL.
