A visa snag has put Kraigg Brathwaite’s return to the Test arena on hold and doubtful for next week’s opening Test in New Zealand.
Up to last night, Brathwaite was still frustrated in Barbados awaiting the green light from the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) regarding the processing of a New Zealand visa and an Australian transit visa before departing the Caribbean.
His father Arleigh Brathwaite told WEEKENDSPORT, that the young opening batsman could be doubtful for the opening Test that starts on Tuesday (Monday evening local time).
He was of the view there should have been greater collaboration between the New Zealand and West Indies boards to have this issue fast-tracked.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

I find this quite amazing that an International Cricketer is unable to get a visa immediately.
I cannot think what would delay issuing a Visa on the spot, unless there are criminal records!
Surely the WICB or its representatives should be making such an application and have a firm arrangement with all of the countries likely to be toured.

It is hoped he will join on Monday, but with just 24 hours to prepare for a Test it seems highly unlikely he will be a viable candidate for the top order meaning that Kirk Edwards, who played his previous Test against England at Trent Bridge in May 2012, would partner Kieran Powell. ......
Seems like the usual scenario re visas ... Fudadin and Deonarine re the England tour !!! :-[
