Both Pollard and Bravo have been overlooked by selectors for the Windies ODI side since the abandoned tour of India in October 2014, despite still being chosen for Twenty20 International honours. "In terms of the tri-nations, I think it's going to be a pretty exciting tri-nations series," Lara said on Wednesday.
