ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies announced today it has enhanced its central retainer contract system for men’s players. The new arrangement brings the CWI central retainer contract system more in line with the different formats of the sport, splitting the senior international men’s players into three groups – all-format contracts, red-ball contracts and white-ball contracts.

“The new retainer contracts aim to incentivise our players to play cricket for the WINDIES and be contracted to CWI,” said Chief Executive Officer of CWI, Johnny Grave. “All the new contracts offer increased remuneration to our WINDIES Men’s team as well as enhanced medical and insurance policies.”

Grave noted that the process of selecting players was completed back in July, ahead of the domestic contracts being issued to the 90 regional professional cricketers on 1st August.

Dowrich?

Warrican?

Powell?

Singh?

Reward for mediocrity.

And what does the * mean?

I like this new CEO, Johnny Grave. From the time he arrived his public pronouncements are more encouraging than damaging. It is good.

But I am looking for the "Pay for Performance" gang who kept calling for players to be paid for their performance. Given that WI is worse off than ever before how come new contracts hold increased remuneration?

Wow.... mediocrity abounds.

Guess u get what u can afford.

Whipping boy status now solidified.

But at least there's a surplus

Warrican? I think they made a mistake, they had Miller in mind.

Dorwich? Could this mean they intend to stick with him?

In reply to sunfish

could also mean no one else accepted the contract offer

Bishoo is a benefactor...damn, he is like a premium water-boy!

Why wait till January to release a statement on a decision made in July and awarded in October?

warrican has a very average year this and last and isn't even playing A team cricket if i recall

so what justifies a red ball contract?

if he is close then he should be on A team, on 15-man teams etc

In reply to Chrissy


Now that Carlos Braithwaite has a career on the t20s leagues he has lost all interest in red ball cricket. It makes you forget that this guy has a test batting average of 45 from three tests.

Because you don't need to know until they are good and ready to tell you.
