Homegrown Players Need More Support

ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Chief selector and coach of the Leeward Islands cricket team, Ridley Jacobs, said he would reject recommendations supporting the importation of players from outside the sub-region.

The former West Indies wicketkeeper/batsman said that although the current crop of players are not producing at a high level, some of the blame must be shared by the coaches and administrators.

“I think that we have enough quality players in the Leewards. I think we just need to work with these guys and give them an opportunity to really perform to their best,” he said.
