What is Ramdin doing in this team? It's time we move past him even for T20s. In India, he was an abject failure with the bat

Ramdin really is a wasted pick in this squad, unless he's playing ahead of Bravo, I can't see him in the final XI, he certainly should not play before Rutherford or Pooran.



Hope
Lewis
Hetmyer
Pooran
Rutherford
Bravo
Powell
Allen
Carlos
Pierre
Thomas

That's probably not the team the selectors will pick, they'll play Paul for Rutherford more than likely.

You can laugh, but I'm sure you agree he's a wasted pick.

If hope and dowrich keep in odis and tests, there's no reason why hope can't keep in T20s.

Ramdin, if he plays, will be a wasted pick, with Pooran and Hope in the team

So Samuels finally gone from the T20 scene.

I can recall my older sister proclaiming "Old Fowl dead at last", after holding her rag doll by the hair and tossing it down the gully.

Ok, not nice.

I'm surprised, even disappointed, that Samuels not included.

Well balanced squad by selectors.

The Selectors need to be more consistent with their selection, how is it that they give the ODI captaincy to Powell but them change the captaincy for the T20 team when Powell is more of a T20 specialist?
