"Of those engaged in the ODIs and Twenty20s against Australia, Dwayne Bravo and Pollard return for their fourth season in the IPL today. Russell, Samuels and Sunil Narine join them for the first time. Chris Gayle has already informed the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) that, while he has signed the agreement ending their year-long standoff that kept him out of the team, he intends to see out his contract with the Bangalore franchise. Whether or not they would have been chosen for the Aussie Tests (Narine decidedly yes, likewise Gayle; Bravo and Russell probably not, given that Sammy fills the position they would otherwise take), their absence decidedly weakens the overall squad. Nor can young professionals be berated for accepting the lucrative contracts on offer (US$700,000 for Narine, US$450,000 for Russell in the IPL) against what the WICB can afford."

Nothing about Lil Bravo...so that means he should play in the Australia Tests, though on current form, it might be better for the Windies if he went to the IPL.
