Although different formats, Cottrell couldn't take a wicket for Red Force in his 2 matches and was dropped

Soldier can't bowl fast for long.. Could manage a quick 4 over spell in T20.. after that his pace drops big time..
Will he manage 10 overs?

Not sure if T20 is the correct format for him but I would enjoy him proving me wrong.

I guess selectors are seeing something that defies our reasoning but lets see how the young man verify their reasoning.

The Selectors might be doing a disservice to both S Hope and Blackwood. However in order not to develop bad habits I hope Hope does not make the final eleven in the T20 match.

WI need to cut out this foolishness about different setup for ODI's and Test Cricket. There is not sufficient quality cricketers in WI for such a setup. One team, very few changes. Ring in the changes for T20. The players need to play more cricket at the international level and the only way to to that is the core players play both formats else we will get stuck in both formats.

My choice for Samuels in the T20 was not Shai Hope but McCarthy who avg 29.20 with a run rate of 127.51 in the CPL.

The only replacement player that was not selected for the three formats and is not already in NZ, is Sheldon Cotterell.
The CWI did not want to spend additional money, flying players in.
