And as you can see, barbados has not done well as a cricketing nation for the last how many years. The last great cricketer from barbados entered the scene over 40 years ago. While Trinidad has gone to the champions league four times, once reaching the final(and setting the template for T20 cricket in the wi for the next 12 years), barbados went once, as a result of winning a franchise tournament captained by a trinidadian. At one point, adrian bharath,rampaul, badree, kevon cooper(who never represented the WI), lendl simmons in addition to pollard, bravo, and narine all had IPL contracts, and other less prominent members of the t20 and list a side were playing in the PSL, people like rayad emrit and denesh ramdin. So when coming to t20 cricket, the only bajan who gets a pass is dwayne smith and to a lesser extent kyle mayers(who did pretty well for lucknow last year). holder does not have a t20 career to boast about(don't tell me its because of his WI responsibilities because the IPL has been part of the ICC FTP program since 2017), RTN, even less so. in fact during that entire era of stanford and the CT20, only two teams bea Trinidad, guyana in 2010 and windward islands in 2012.
