DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (CMC) – Not a single West Indies player has made it onto the International Cricket Council’s Test or One-Day International team-of-the-year for 2015.
Players from five nations comprise the Test side while those from seven nations make up the one-day side but no players from the Caribbean have found favour with the selection panel headed by legendary former India spinner Anil Kumble.
West Indies languish at number eight in the ICC Test rankings and number nine in the ODI tables. Significantly also, there are no West Indies players in the top 10 of either the Test or ODI player batting rankings.
Discarded veteran left-hander Shiv Chanderpaul is the highest ranked West Indies Test batsman at 14th while fast bowler Kemar Roach lies 15th in the bowling rankings.
In ODIs, West Indies batsmen do not feature inside the top 30 with stroke-maker Marlon Samuels the highest ranked at 33rd.
Ironically, off-spinner Sunil Narine tops the ODI bowling rankings but was on Sunday banned from bowling by the ICC because of an illegal action.

I believe that the ICC has something
against the Region , For many years now they have allowed the people in the WICBC to continue being Arrogant , Incompetent , lacking in Foresight & Vision & lacking is Business Acumen .
While the ICC can discipline the USA
Cricket Association , it allowed the
WICBC to become a Rogue Cricket Board
by not even telling it to exercise
Good Governance .
The gist of what I am stating is that the ICC refused to discipline the
WICBC ; Obviously the ICC has been derelict in its responsibility in this regard .
