In a couple of weeks Marlon Samuels' ban will be lifted from cricket... Should he be allowed to represent West Indies again, Yes or No ? If yes, why?

Well, if he's served his time, then yes....

But he will have to earn his place in the side. And it will be harder to force himself into the side, now that the middle order has become more competitive.

There's Sarwan, Shiv, Nash, Bravo, Deonarine, Dowlin....

Samuels will need to start hitting centuries for Jamaica before he's recalled.

let me ask a few questions...

Should Spitzer run for NY Governor again?
Why the BCCI removed Modi from the IPL commissioner post?
Should Madoff be allowed to run a new ponzi scheme and would you invest with him??

If South Africa continued to persist with Herschelle Gibbs, and Australia continued to select Mark Waugh and Shane Warne, then I don't see why we should be any different....

maybe, he has to work his way all over again. However, I wouldn't want him to rob the youngsters from breaking into the WI team. He had his turn and blew it.
