Caribbean cricket tipping overboard

There is good news in the fact that the West Indies Cricket Board is seemingly serious about changing the structure of West Indies cricket. What is distressing is that much of the change taking place seems to be barely making headlines. This new framework for the regional series where teams will be franchised as they are done for the CPL needs to be further studied for its feasibility before it is actually tried out. It is all good and well to have players from the different countries in the Caribbean as well as a foreign-born player or two thrown into the mix, but the challenges facing West Indies cricket originate from elsewhere and this change will not only not solve anything, but will only kick the proverbial can down the road
