We contacted some of our well-known senior cricketers to ascertain their availability for the tournament and we are pleased that Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels have indicated their full support and commitment to the cause. Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Darren Bravo and Andre Russell however indicated that they were unavailable to help us qualify as their priority was playing in the Pakistan Super League
So PSL is important for these guys

PSL should go in for the kill and insist they play in Pakistan.

Does it really matter???? Why blame these guys for making some money?
We are not asking for them to participate in the actual World Cup with the other major cricketing nations.
This is a useless exercise to go to the big event just to check a box.
With our level of play these days how will we get past Afghanistan? Please let us at least have a face saving excuse that not all of our stars a re available.

It should matter.
They'll be available for the World Cup though when there is no T/20 being played.

....AND YET WHEN THE Pak players were playing in CPL, THEY HAD TO ABANDON THEIR TEAMS and report back to Pakistan on request from their governing board.

Interesting selections, Samuels, Hetmyer, I would have selected Chase for either one of them, however the team should have enough to qualify. The WI cricket Board has created a low moral environment with the top WI players.

If WI don't manage to qualify, WI will miss out on a big chunk of money given to the WC participants. It's a sizable chunk for the CWI. They already missed out on the Champions trophy 2017.

You sound confident..Do you think WI will make the finals of this qualifying tournament that's most likely to feature WI,Zim,Afg and Ireland in the last four?

AKA the military - or they probably risked being shot!
Thankfully, our players live in robust democracies where their individual rights are enshrined in our constitutions

The group of players traveling to PSL seems to suggest they risk being shot at home, not by the military ofcourse!

Not a bad team selected but I would have wanted Russell and Narine in the squad. Where is Badree? Although I am happy for Killa Milla.

It begs the question are they allowed to?
Or will their home be stoned and burned down?
