costs too much money, but it's not a waste of money for the CWI Vice President to travel with the team??? Surely the team manager can do the ceremonial stuff in place of the VP if money is really the issue ...

Selectors No Longer Tour With Team Because It
In reply to Walco
If the VP is on tour what is he doing there, especially as you say, in light of the austerity measures?
In reply to Courtesy
He participated in the post match presentation ceremonies.
In reply to Walco
Thanks. I did not watch the post match ceremony. It must be out of pocket expenses. Otherwise, his trip needs to be justified.
In reply to Courtesy
I will reserve judgment for now, but these guys should practice what they preach.
In reply to Walco
CWI, in case you are following this MB some justification please.
Dr. Shallow, please respond.
In reply to Courtesy
I don't believe it was stated that no officials will travel with the team. The cost savings is one official vs 2 or 3 selectors.
In reply to grugru
Only one selector traveled with the team. They would rotate each series.
In reply to grugru
It wouldn't hurt if the austerity measures are enunciated.
I personally believe that selectors are excess to demand. The job should be done by the coaching staff.
In reply to cricketmad
Not an ureasonable position, but who would scout the regional players when the senior team is on tour? In any event, the current structure is not one where the coaches select the team.
In reply to Walco
Yes, this is why selectors are needed, or scouts. For example, if you get a foreign coach, chances are, he won't know about the upcoming talents. So much international cricket is played these days to have time to spot all in the region...

Guardian Media Sports understands that the task force includes Shallow, Adams, Enoch Lewis, Jimmy Adams and three former West Indies cricketers.
It will be interesting to see what they come up with in terms of a new structure. Apparently Adams will have 2 votes
In reply to Courtesy
Responding as a Courtesy, after all you only ask that I respond.
I think selectors and coaching staff should all attend Regional games.
The Chairman of Selectors should go on tours with the side.
In reply to WICFan
Not possible when the senior team is touring
Why just the Chairman? Are the other selectors not important? What about A Team matches?
In reply to Walco
If the West Indies are touring the CoS goes with the team. The 3 selectors should attend the Regional matches.
The CoS is in that position for a reason, so he should go on tour. The other selectors have done there duty selecting the best squad they can.
