West Indies legend Brian Lara has called for the return of stars Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo for next month's one-day international tri-series against Australia and South Africa. 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. "And hopefully we can have the likes of Pollard and Bravo - some guys who have not played that form of the game (recently) - back in the team because they are integral of any West Indies team. "Just to have them for the T20 version I think is doing a disservice to the West Indies cricket." Bravo was part of the Windies' World T20 title-winning XI, while Pollard was initially selected in the squad for the tournament before being forced to pull out due to his continued recovery from a knee injury suffered in South Africa's domestic T20 competition last November. However under the West Indies Cricket Board regulations, neither player is eligible for the tournament after failing to participate in January's domestic Super50 competition.
