Narrative:
During landing rollout; the left thrust reverser failed to deploy when selected to reverse position. During taxi in; I tried to deploy them without any success. Contract maintenance found the l-hand thrust reverser bypass handle in bypass position; preventing thrust reverser deployment. He placed it in the proper position and we did an engine run to check the thrust reverser and he signed off the book; and we left with a 45 min delay. There were no previous squawks regarding the thrust reverser. An airworthiness check and a service check were done that morning. The thrust reverser bypass handle was left in the shutoff position. It is not a required check on preflight.
