Brathwaite committed to WI duty

West Indies star Carlos Brathwaite has reiterated his commitment to playing international cricket, despite the demand for his services in Twenty20 leagues across the globe. He has been an instant hit with Sydney Thunder in the ongoing Australia Big Bash and is expected to be retained for next season. However, the West Indies are scheduled to tour New Zealand from November 2017 to January 2018 for three Tests, five ODIs and one T20 International -a series that will clash with the early stages of the Big Bash.And Brathwaite, who is trying to forge an international career in all the three formats, said he was focussed on making the West Indies squad for the full series.
