Ali: TTCB must review selection criteria

FORMER West Indies youth captain and TT cricketer Zaheer Ali believes the matter involving TT Red Force cricketer Denesh Ramdin, chairman of selectors Tony Gray and coach Mervyn Dillon must be properly managed and is calling for an emergency meeting to be held.

On Tuesday, in an interview on the Mason and Guest radio show in Barbados, Ramdin made his feelings clear. Ramdin said the senior players are not respected, proper forms of communication are not used when informing players of selection and players are dropped after failing in just one or two matches. The wicket-keeper batsman is questioning why experienced fast bowler Ravi Rampaul has been overlooked for the current West Indies Four-Day Championships.

Ramdin was among five Red Force players left out for the forthcoming match against Leeward Islands Hurricanes, at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts that bowls off on Thursday. Yannic Cariah, Keagan Simmons, Kissoondath Magram and Daniel St Clair were also omitted from the squad.

Public washing of dirty laundry never a good idea. Ramdin a victim of joining with Bravo to balackmail WI for more money.
Bravo has skills to negotiate with and wing back his employment.
Ramdin cannot compete with his alternatives on the market: Hope, Dorwich and Pooran.

It is a precipitous fall for him from WI Captain to no seat on the state team. He got caught on the wrong side of the argument. Used and spat out by Bravo/Pollard.
A nice little Trini aloo pie situation.
