Oh rass!!.. look like dem want to see him in the longer version of di game before dem send him to India!!.. ok then i'm fine with that, but no doubt Mike will still want him to play a "four day competition" first.. .

He can still get there for the ODIs...

He's certain to play the ODi's imo, but i was hoping he'd go to India right now and replace Shillingford (who shouldn't be anywhere near the team at the moment ), but i guess they want to see him in a four day game first, his record in the longer version of the game is the only thing that has a question mark against it, he's not really had a real chance in the four day competition yet because Imran Khan, Jaggs and Dave Mo were always in his way, i think that will change now though!! .

As a youngster he was a sensation in the longer version, taking 6fers for fun, ended up with close to 100 wickets in the games he played for Trini and WI u19s.

Actually, this is a good sign that indicates that Narine is now on the WI selectors radar. The fact that he's playing for the A team means he won't play Tests against India, but will gain valuable experience against Bangladesh in the four-day format.

I would also like to see anyone I named in my Super50 team of the tournament in the ODI squad. However, after this Test series, we take a break until the Aussies come in the spring, so Narine has time to replace Amit Jaggernaut in the Trinidad squad for the regional four-day tournament....
