Former Jamaica and West Indies fast-bowler Franklyn Rose is calling on players to have the right frame of mind when representing the region.
The 51-year-old Rose, who played 19 tests and 27 one-day internationals, made this plea in a recent interview with www.usacricketers.com.
He implored players to aspire to be role models, always disciplined and change their attitudes when it comes to international duties.
“Our players need to change their attitudes in the region and I think that is what is affecting our performances over the years, if not our cricket will continue to decline,” Rose commented.
Rose, who took 53 Test wickets, also commented on the standard of First-class cricket in the region.

Everyone can change. Who better to advise them on the pitfalls of lil fame than one who knows where the shoe pinches and has the tshirts to prove it?

It is not an irony because of its potential positive.
It is saying anyone can grow and develop. Players should
think, well he's been there and done that and if that is
his take then he's saying learn from his mistakes.

Did Franklin Rose apply to become coach of West Indies? Seems like he got word that his been given the job and as such he’s trying to get the players to adjust lol. Hope he brings Marlon Samuel with him as batting coach lol

I knew a guy who lived a thug life and he was adamant with his youngest sibling that he should follow the upbringing of their parents and not his path. That was good advice

If Rose was an Australian he could have ended up like Shane Warne or R. Pointing.
Rose was an angel compared to what those two did off the field.
