WINDIES: NEW SELECTION POLICY COMING!
In reply to XDFIX
Kind of finding this so called new policy telling players to play the entire season or else kind of strangling
In reply to XDFIX
The WICB cannot expect players to make themselves available for all rounds and competitions, at the same time Samuels cannot expect to play one domestic game, go globetrotting and then throw the toys out of the pram because he wasn't selected for ODI duty.
Retainer contracts need looked at as well.
In reply to WICFan
CWI chose to send Samuels to England to work on his bowling while the Super 50 was on .Had he not gone to England he would have been available for more domestic games.
What I can't understand why invest in a guy and no pick him but hopefully this new selection policy will see the best 11 on the park

The new policy Adams hopes to introduce
In reply to Maispwi
I hope that this change in policy only relates to 20/20. This pool are primarily older players that have very little interest in representing WI.
For all the other formats the WIBC has to reward the players that are playing locally and that are under contract.
I know everyone wants to see WI back at top but that only happens with an increase in the amount of games thereby allowing the players to build their confidence to go along with their skills/talent.
Welcome change to Wi cricket my eyes burns me looking at those bajan that call them self international cricketers
In reply to Veracity
Really? Narine is an older player? The circle will continue and any young player that gets to a standard and is then marketable will have the same issues. Rovman Powell and all these young guys are next. We need common sense to prevail

Exactly
Some people have to be mad to think people will refuse US$700,000 for a 2 months job for what, unsurely over your future??? They themselves wouldn't even follow them own policy.

It's ridiculous. I can't understand why they have these expectations. ALL they need to do is put themselves in the same position of have to choose 700K for a 6 week competition and region tournament.. LOL.. LOL.. Wow how stupid can they be
In reply to jen
What needs to happen is a balance or as close to a balnce be struck
No way those guys can get $700k for 6 weeks of work of they never step foot playing in a Wi tourney, no way. cause they had to bee seen either in Super50 or even the CPL, which actually gets the guys from the same WICB Super 50 tourney
So how all these guys come stars, cause no recruiter from the IPL fly down JA and saw Rovman playing in St. Catherine. No he was seen playing at a WICB sanctioned event.
But the thing is the WICB is more to blame for these guys having very little loyalty to them. So I hope Jimmy, with his calm demeanor and seems to be common sense, help these guys have some balance, also Mr. Grave seem to be a people person.
Or it will be a circle, guys in guys out and WI only making 20% off the players back and the team still rank in the trenches of World Cricket.

The players also have to be willing to sacrifice something as well. They cannot expect to not feature in any regional matches and still make the team, cause without them sponsorship of our tournaments is hard to sell.
They cannot expect to prop up every foreign league in their entirety and not support their own so a balance needs to be reached.
Lets see what Adams comes up with
I think every players should make them self available for 25% of the regional tournament and availabLe for every international match once selected
