"Samuels, Darren Bravo and Carlos Brathwaite have declined central contracts offered by the WICB for the period 2016-17. The list of centrally-contracted players depleted to 12 after the WICB had increased it from 12 to 15 earlier this January, for the period 2015-16. Some of the other big names not retained from the previous batch of contracted players were Denesh Ramdin and Kemar Roach; Jerome Taylor was left out as he retired from Tests in July. Also left out were fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell and opening batsman Rajendra Chandrika. Roston Chase, Alzarri Joesph, Miguel Cummins and Jomel Warrican were the new faces in the list of contracted players, which was shortlisted based on performances between October 2015 and September this year. Central contracts are given by the WICB for only Test players."

This might explain the lackadaisical attitude of Samuels in this Test series...he gave the impression that he didn't seem to care. He's 35 now, and clearly looking towards playing the T20 leagues in the twilight of his career. Lil Bravo has clearly noticed that his older brother is wealthier than him, and wants a piece of the action. Carlos is tired of carrying drinks, and wants to capitalise on his World T20 success, uninhibited by WICB central contracts.
Nobody has a stance quite like the mighty Shivnarine....
