Ricardo Powell Deprived

Vaneisa Baksh: “Gayle and Sarwan have had chance after chance. Think of Gayle trying to drive everything through cover, or Sarwan repeatedly set up for the hook shot. Yet, an investment was made in their development. If the same had been done with Powell, he would have been fulfilling his potential by now. When he migrated to Trinidad and joined the Trinidad & Tobago team, he showed a lot more maturity in his game. He can still become one of the great players of this generation, but my feeling is that he has been deprived of a prime part of his career.”
