Kingstown<\/strong>: All-rounder Dwayne Bravo<\/a> has been appointed as the West Indies vice captain for the first three One-Day Internationals against Australia. The 28-year-old Bravo, who has not played for West Indies in almost a year, replaces Denesh Ramdin<\/a> who was forced out of the squad after fracturing a thumb in a practice game in Barbados last Saturday.<\/p>\n

“I am happy to be named vice captain. When I was asked to do the job, I happily accepted. As vice captain, I know I have a very important job to do,” said Bravo, who at one time was earmarked as a potential Windies skipper.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

“My main job is to support captain Darren Sammy<\/a> and work alongside him, and help my team-mates and put in those major performances for the team.”<\/p>\n

He added: “We have a very young team and, as one of the senior players, I have to step in and make my presence felt. The fire is still burning in me. I will be bringing the same level of enthusiasm and commitment that I always had. That is the only way I know how to play, by giving my all to the team.”<\/p>\n

Bravo has gone through a tough spell in his international career over the last year, resulting in being dropped from both the Test and ODI squads.<\/p>\n

He did not play a single Test last year and his last ODI was the second game of the five-match series against India last June. Those two matches yielded 30 runs and no wickets.<\/p>\n

Bravo struggled in the preceding ODI series against Pakistan, taking four wickets at an average of 49 and scoring 54 runs from four innings.<\/p>\n

However, the energetic Trinidadian said he was looking to make a big impression this year.<\/p>\n

“I was away from the team since last year and I’m happy to be back in the maroon shirt and representing the people of the West Indies,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It is special to be back on the team for a series in the Caribbean, where most of my fans are and where I get a lot of support. I’m looking to make this year a big year. I want to make 2012 my year.”<\/p>\n

Bravo has played 117 ODIs and is currently the most experienced member of the current Windies setup.<\/p>\n
