Barbados seems to be the only regional territory...

...interested in proper cricket organisation. Youngsters in the other islands are focused on committing crime. Barbados should rightfully be rewarded for its cricketing efforts.

Remember that Barbados gave retainers to its regional players to allow them to give up their 9 to 5 jobs before Cameron expanded it through CWI funding.
Sir Garfield summer tournament currently on has been running for a while exposes the youngsters to the social side early in their development phase.

So that's your justification for the "All Homies should eat a food" WI selection policy?

I really do not see your system as any superior than the J'can Inter-Parish cricket competition; The inter-county tournament; Senior Cup cricket; Rural and City High schools and Primary schools cricket tournaments. Not to mention the many clubs and Business house cricket for all ages.
Please do not flatter yourselves for I visited St.Vincent and the youths there have an elaborate development program, the fact that they are not been selected for WI duties has nothing to do with their program.

Interesting

Bajan olayers, whether by design or coincidence, also played the most first class circlet in the region

There was the Barbados team playing FC cricket

CCC was largely made up of Bajan players. The justification was that as the team was based in Barbados it was difficult for players from elsewhere in the region to go to that campus

HPC was also based in Bim and similar reasoning was advocated for this team generally having more Bajans than players from the other regions

So while players from other territories were mostly restricted to their one home team, Bajan players essentially had 3 teams they could and were selected to

There's no more CCC and HPC, which in and of itself is interesting, but the "foundation" has been laid

I hope you don't read the Nation Newspaper anytime soon. Or if you do please skip the court pages. You not going to find support for your thesis in there.

Talented young cricketers attending College or University in the region have similar access to CCC but lessor extent HPC.

And by extension, Barbados should rightfully be rewarded for their under-reporting of crime.

let me understand you carefully, the others are reporting actually the number of crimes and Bim is under-reporting and if Bim actually reporting the correct number, that number would be higher than say yard ?

I think you should carefully conduct a regional research of All regional cricket system of development prior to any comparative generalization or conclusive statements, for it makes you appear irrational, insular and myopic.
Regarding "obsession and delusional". I think I am the only one on this board who licensed to make such diagnosis.
