So there must be some sort of franchise system like thay again to really unearth the talents that's around the Caribbean and be a feeder system for the CPL and then on the senior team and other leagues.


Under the terms of the current deal the CWI can't start another T20 league, even if it's to support finding talent for the CPL...

You remember the opinions of some of us back then ??
Hindsight for Caribbean leaders is Blindness.
They all gave away their countries' symbols,reducing their nations(even Republics) TO CLUB
STATUS and have the gall to savage the equally 'stupid' cricket folks.

They better be careful lest a LAWSUIT on the International scale crops up. Then it would
really be 'Crop Over'. lol

And none of us were against a franchise system, but we cautioned that any deal must be fair. Instead they turned the argument to us not wanting to modernize and embrace the new paradigm, so they give away our game for 50 years.

Then, they made it illegal to have any other T-20 league- even an under 19 league is illegal, then they made sure our governments have to pay for stadium, for security, and embrace their monopoly.

When Polly warned 4 years ago that we lack a feeder system or league for our young players or else our talent will be stifle, he was quickly shut down.

Question: What barriers to entry full fledge cell phone companies face if they want to enter our market as equal players?

You think the masses know these two things are connnected?
