National batsman Jeremy Solozano was left embarrassed by the TTCB following poor communication between him and the TTCB selectors. The left-handed batsman was axed as a replacement player for the ongoing Regional Super50 but no one told him that.

An eager Solozano was on his way to Couva to collect his uniform on Tuesday at the TTCB office, but after calling TTCB Cricket Operations Officer Dudnath Ramkessoon to tell him he was on his way, he was told he was no longer selected. Solozano said he later received a call from chairman of the TT selection panel Raphick Jumadeen who told him he was replaced but to keep working hard.

PRESIDENT of the TT Cricket Board Azim Bassarath and chairman of selectors Raphick Jumadeen could not be reached for comment yesterday, concerning the lack of effective communication between selectors and national players.

Repeated calls to both Bassarath and Jumadeen were not answered.

Newsday reported on Thursday there was a mix-up in communication between national player Jeremy Solozano, the selectors and the TTCB, which led to the left-handed batsman disappointed after unknowingly being omitted as a replacement player for the Regional Super50.
