Windies Darren Bravo Credits Captaincy of T&T Red Force for his Development
West Indies top order batsman Darren Bravo said it is about time the regional team get it right and deliver the goods. The West Indies batsman believes that being appointed captain of the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force in January aided in his development and his maturity as a cricketer.
Speaking to the media on Sunday, the 31-year-old, who has so far made eight centuries in 54 Test matches, said even in the nets, he is trying not to get out and he is constantly challenging himself to lift his game and helping other players. The most recent example of his development came on Saturday when he made a stroke-filled 135 against New Zealand ‘A’ in their drawn match against the West Indies at the John Davies Oval at Queenstown. Bravo said the runs were not the most important thing about that innings, it was more about spending time out in the middle and getting to understanding the conditions. The maturity, he said, has developed after being given the opportunity to lead. “I am at a stage where I think I understand my game much more. I am more mature in the way I think, so we will see how it goes. I am excited about this series and I think it is about time I get the runs flowing once more,” he said. “I think captaining Trinidad and Tobago Red Force gave me that insight as to what it takes to be a leader. It helped me with my game and the way I see things. I enjoy the game a lot more now, so I am looking forward to the challenge.” The Test squad will remain in the southern island city for a four-day warm up match, starting Thursday just prior to the start of the first Test from December 3-7 at Seddon Park in Hamilton, and the second Test on December 11-15 at the Basin Reserve in Wellington. Before that, West Indies will face New Zealand in the first T20 International at Eden Park on Friday night.
