They got it wrong but there is nothing I can do about it. I just have to continue to play my game and show my hunger and desire to play Test cricket, and hopefully I will get the opportunity again,&quot; said Bravo.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6\">West Indies and New Zealand play three Tests and two Twenty20 matches, starting with the first game June 8 at Sabina Park, Kingston.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6\">&ldquo;There is a Test series against New Zealand and my eyes are on that. I definitely want to be back, involved in Test cricket again. For those who don&rsquo;t know, the last Test I played was in 2010 in Sri Lanka and I was very disappointed that I was not able to make the Test squad since,&quot; said Bravo.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6\">The Trinidadian has scored 2,200 runs in 40 Tests with three centuries and 13 half-centuries and has also taken 86 Test wickets since making his debut against England at Lord&rsquo;s in 2004.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">&ldquo;I keep asking what is it I have to do again to be selected. Obviously, they can&rsquo;t really give a proper answer so it always finishes off with a small laugh. Nothing really serious comes out of it,&rdquo; said the 30-year-old.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6\">The Chennai Super Kings player is currently in England recovering from a shoulder injury he sustained during the Indian Premier League match.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:1.6\">&ldquo;I have had two very good days of rehab and I am going to extend my stay an extra week and push myself a bit more. Coming from Dubai, I was in a lot of pain and I was not sure I could actually do the things I am doing now,&quot; said Bravo.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">--IANS\/CMC<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
