Bravo says full strength Windies team for South Africa tour

A full strength West Indies team will tour South Africa next month, despite their dramatic mid-series withdrawal from India last month, according to One Day International Captain Dwayne Bravo.             

Speaking in Durban on Tuesday, Bravo said the issues have been sorted out and the West Indies are expected to be at full strength, as he was officially welcomed as the Dolphins’ overseas player for the domestic T20 competition.      

The WICB has still not issued a statement following meetings involving CARICOM leaders on the weekend.         

The Caribbean team will play three tests, three T20 Internationals and five ODIs over the festive period.            

Doubts over the tour surfaced after the West Indian team cut short its tour of India last month over a pay dispute. 

Reports on Monday indicated the contract crisis was close to an end.        

Bravo said everyone is available and his team is looking forward to competing against the South African team. 

Bravo was the last of five high-profile West Indian players to arrive in the country for the T20 series. 

Kieron Pollard, Darren Sammy, Andre Russell and Chris Gayle all took part in the triple-header opening matches in Johannesburg over the weekend.
