Bravo took to social networking site Twitter to vent his anger at the selection committee, terming it as a "joke".

"Joke of the day: WI selectors?? One minute Pollard & Narine were not good enough & now are perfect for Tri Nation series? It's like magic!" wrote Bravo, who is currently playing for Gujarat Lions in the Indian Premier League (IPL).


The seasoned all-rounder also lashed out at the lack of clarity in affairs and felt there is a need to get serious.

"One minute we have to be available for domestic super 50 to be selected and the next minute, it seems we don't. Magic! Get serious people!" he wrote in another tweet.
