In his video, Bravo also took jabs at the previous West Indies cricket administration by saying that the game in the Caribbean has suffered at the hands of ‘vindictive’ people.

Both West Indies and Afghanistan cricket teams are currently on a tour to India to play three ODIs, three T20Is and one Test match against each other. As per ICC regulations, India will be hosting home games for Afghanistan and the ongoing series will also provide a home advantage to the Rashid Khan-led side. The series will now continue with a dead-rubber third ODI, which would then be followed three T20Is between November 14 and 17. The only Test match of the tour will start from November 27 onwards and unlike other Tests these days, the upcoming five-day affair between the two nations will not form a part of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship. All matches are scheduled to be played at the Ekana International Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
