2017 million dollar question for WICB

The West Indies will miss the  International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Champions Trophy 2017. What a pity.

Who is to blame? That is the US$2 million question.

How can anyone explain why the West Indies Cricket Board (WIBC) did not plan a one-day series since the aborted Indian tour in 2014? Surely someone should have been monitoring the team’s position as it relates to qualification.

Over 12 months have elapsed and there is a strong feeling that the Board’s administrators, particularly those responsible for planning, were caught sleeping on the job.
