West Indies cant afford more Nurses
Several West indian cricketers have commneted on the effects of the long absence from home has had on their emotional well being on the recent India/New Zealand tour.
"They offered opportunities for Keiran Powell to entrench himself as the West Indies opening batsman, as his palpable potential indicates that he should be. Instead, the tall left-hander from Nevis couldn’t wait for the ill-starred tours of India and New Zealand to be over."
Cozier points out that "Only the Ashes are still guaranteed five Tests. Now two Tests can constitute a series, making way for the popular, abbreviated, money-making one-day formats.
The effect has been to amplify the pressure on Powell and those of his generation."
