Allrounder Dwayne Bravo could bring his nine-month international cricket exile to an end next month against Australia after being selected for a West Indies training camp.

But explosive opener Chris Gayle has again been overlooked as his dispute with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) continues.

Bravo’s last game for the West Indies was a one-day international against India in June 2011, but was overlooked by selectors for the tour of Bangladesh in October and then suffered an ankle injury.

But the 28-year-old has proven his fitness in recent months playing Twenty20 cricket in Australia for the Sydney Sixers, in the West Indies with Trinidad and Tobago and most recently for the Chittagong Kings in the Bangladesh Premier League.

Bravo’s globe-trotting has been rewarded with him being chosen as one of 13 non-contracted players to join 17 contracted cricketers for a two-week camp in Barbados which ends on March 12.

The West Indies squad to play Australia in five ODIs and two T20 internationals will be picked from those 30 players.

Gayle, who also played this summer’s Big Bash League in Australia at the Sydney Thunder, hasn’t featured for the West Indies since last year’s World Cup after a fallout with the WICB.

But the 32-year-old might be back in contention for selection for the three Tests starting on April 7 in Barbados after a board meeting in St Lucia last weekend.

One of the resolutions of the board meeting was for WICB president Julian Hunte to arrange a meeting with Jamaican prime minister Portia Simpson-Miller to discuss “matters pertaining to cricket in Jamaica and the West Indies and Chris Gayle”.

It is not the first time the board have held talks relating to Gayle, however, and even face-to-face meetings with the batsman have failed to provide a resolution to the dispute.

The first ODI of Australia’s tour will be held in St Vincent on March 16.

The 17 contracted players are: Adrian Barath, Carlton Baugh, Devendra Bishoo, Kraigg Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Fidel Edwards, Kirk Edwards, Shannon Gabriel, Nelon Pascal, Kieran Powell, Kemar Roach, Andre Russell, Darren Sammy, Marlon Samuels, Shane Shillingford and Devon Thomas.

The 13 additional players under consideration: Samuel Badree, Tino Best, Nkrumah Bonner, Dwayne Bravo, Johnson Charles, Shane Dowrich, Danza Hyatt, Garey Mathurin, Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard, Denesh Ramdin, Krishmar Santokie and Dwayne Smith.
