Gabriel returned to the West Indies team after a long time

Shannon Gabriel has turned 34, but he does not want to suffocate. This pacer was out of the team for a long time. But he did not stop the fight to return. Finally got the result. Gabriel returned to the West Indies Test team. For the two-match Test series against Zimbabwe, the tested veteran pacer has been considered by the West Indies Cricket Board selectors.

Before this, Gabriel played the last Test in 2021. At that time he was left out of the team due to off form and injury. Suffered from a side strain injury for almost the whole of last year. However, having recovered from that injury, he is now fully fit. Also known as Gabriel on the ball. For that reason, the Caribbean team management did not think twice to trust him again.

Meanwhile, Gabriel, who got a chance due to Jayden Sales’ injury, is more likely to get a chance in the eleven. The Caribbean originally planned to play Gabriel in place of Sales. Meanwhile, apart from Gabriel, Jomel Warrican and Gudakesh Moti have also returned to the team. However, these two spinners are going to return to the national team jersey after a long time.

However, despite returning after a long time, all three have a chance to be permanent in the national team. But for that, they have to give their best in the return to twenty-two yards. In that case, Gabriel is ahead in terms of experience. The other two spinners are also quite promising. Although the two have the experience to speak of, Warrican has played 13 Tests and Moti just one.

Meanwhile, the Caribbean series against Zimbabwe is going to start on February 4. The second and final match will start on February 12. The two-match Test series will be played in Zimbabwe. Both matches will be played at the same stadium, Bulawayo.
