LACK OF confidence and conviction has cost teenage Barbadian opener Kraigg Brathwaite and Guyanese leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo places on the West Indies team to tour England next month for a three-Test series.
But the seam-friendly conditions in England have weighed heavily in the selection of Trinidadian fast bowler Shannon Gabriel, who along with left-handed Guyanese middle order batsman Assad Fudadin, are the only uncapped players in the 15-man squad named yesterday.
There is a recall for wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin, who replaces Carlton Baugh, while Marlon Samuels rejoins the team after missing the just ended Test series against Australia for a short stint in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
