Brought in at the expense of the luckless Sunil Ambris, discarded opener Devon Smith has been given another chance to resurrect his Test career. Hailing from Grenada, his batting exudes belligerence and his selection, as much as owed to good form in the recent domestic competitions, points towards the Windies' requirement of someone who can play a positive brand of cricket in a team of players who are rather more of grafters.

Smith, at 36, has the experience of close to 200 first class games and that will be another factor to watch out for him as he has been on the field for about fifteen years now, his presence will not only be limited to his stroke-filled method of scoring by taking on the bowlers, captain Jason Holder will readily welcome inputs from him as far as tactics and stratagem are concerned. Making a comeback after three years, he will not only have a point or two to prove, but will also enjoy the feeling of putting on the national cap once again.
