Johnson Charles has been named to replace Darren Bravo in the West Indies squad for the ICC World Twenty20 Championship. The tournament will be played in India from March 8 to April 3.

The 27-year-old Charles is a top order batsman who can also keep wicket. He is also an occasional medium-pace bowler.

Charles, 27, has been brought in after Bravo declined to sign the remuneration contract by last Sunday’s deadline, opting instead to focus on the longer formats of the sport.

He has represented the West Indies in 23 T20 Internationals so far and was member of the team which won the ICC World T20 in Sri Lanka in 2012.

During that tournament, he was Man-of-the-Match against England with a match-winning 84 at Pallekele in the quarter-finals.

The West Indies are due to arrive in Kolkata on March 7 ahead of the tournament. They will have official warm-up matches against India on Thursday, March 10, and against Australia on Sunday, March 13.

West Indies have been drawn in Group 1 of the Super 10 stage where they will play alongside England, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and one of the qualifiers from the first round.

    Excuse me DNO but you gave us the readers no reason as to why Dravo was replaced by Johnson Charles. The whole report has lost its message without the critical why question. So can you please enlighten us the reader as to why Bravo has been replaced.

    Thank you

    Admin: Thank you for the observation. That information has been added to the story which came from the WICB.
