ST JOHN'S, Antigua (CMC) — Former West Indies seamer Kenny Benjamin believes once head coach Phil Simmons was in favour of Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard, the selection panel should have given him their support.

Benjamin, who grabbed 92 wickets in 26 Tests between 1992 and 1998, also said a clear policy on the two players needed to be established and communicated to selectors.

"If Pollard and Bravo should not be selected there should be a memo passed on to the selectors saying these guys are not eligible, you can't leave it open and then you have that kind of rift between selectors and coaches so obviously there is a problem. If you ask any head coach around the world, they hardly vote these days," Benjamin told the Antigua Observer newspaper.
