“Don’t blame or ridicule players for choosing to play T20 cricket instead of country” said Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the T&T Cricket Board Suruj Ragoonath.

His call comes in the midst of criticisms across the cricketing fraternity that local and regional players are chasing T20 dollars instead of showing

loyalty to their country. Yesterday, however Ragoonath, who himself was a former T&T and West Indies opening batsman made it clear that the problem is not the players, but rather an administrative issue.

“We must understand that the sport of cricket now is not what it used to be many years ago and therefore we at the administrative level must find ways and means of dealing with the problem of players choosing to play for club rather than country,” Ragoonath said.

Ragoonath is a very perceptive man , and he is absolutely correct The Problem with Cricket in the Region is
about the Administration . Not about
the Players .

some people coming around to my point of view .
