WHAT POLLY AND SAMMY SAID- MUST ACT NOW

It was very instructive to hear both Polly and Sammy lament the fact that we do no longer have a T-20 domestic competition in the region (around territory )outside of the CPL- India has one outside IPL, so does other countries have outside of their franchise model.

When the WICBC gave the exclusive rights to CPL it meant they had to give up hosting and sanctioning any other regional T-20 competition, and get this, including any under age tourneys such as Under 19, Under 15, B teams etc.

They both identified this as a problem that impacts the ability to groom and unearth new young talent. Although, the CPL do provide for two emerging picks, this is way too limited to groom and build our future and because the CPL is a private entity and their profitability isn't mutually exclusive to our future, this emerging pick quota, is wholly insufficient to sustain our region's future in T-20 WORLD DOMINATION.

They both expressed concern that like the faith of our test side, in the future if our system does not have a feeder system for future T-20 stars, our T-20 SUPREMACY WILL GO THE WAY OF OUR TEST CRICKET.
