T10 cricket over West Indies tours

This is disgraceful. I had hoped this board would have injected some sort of discipline and honor in West Indies Cricket but its an absolute failure.

We sink lower with every series and no one seems to care.

Without the $, clout or backing from the governing body, CWI may not really have any power to compel its best players for national duty, the way that a Big 3 nation or Pakistan can?

Edited to add: Yes there's a difference between covid fears and 'bubble fatigue', but the perception of players foregoing national duty and instead playing pro leagues isn't new.

What would an unbiased West Indies team look like to you Jeremy?

CWI need to go with the flow. The players look good on these mercenary stints. They are in form. Yet they use their old laws to try to brace them into a corner to play for WI. Not happening..
Instead the CWI should ask the players on tour to join the touring team. Work with them to play both series.
The current squad in Bangla is mediocre. We are not going to be competitive neither win anything.
Look at the T10 games everyone contributing. Even Brandon hit 3 sixes last night. That is more than the WI hit in 2 ODI's.
This rule that you must play at home to be considered for selection is old. Throw it out.
Pick players on current form and merit.
Otherwise we we will have to go to the high schools for players.

Not just Allen.

Pollard
Lewis
Pooran

Who else is in Abu Dhabi?

Simmons
King
Narine
Charles
Fletcher
Rutherford

Would any of these players have been eligible to play the ODIs against Bangladesh?

Tell de eeediat fren that is the source of the problem.

Men playing more tournaments for other teams than for the WI. Then ignorant selectors picking them for big tournaments.

Allow players to play one tournament outside of WI duty each yr, their choice what competition they choose. If they can't do that don't expect to play anymore for the WI.

Simple.

Man your geography kinda off. Unless Jamaica has become part of de OECS. Your rants about Allen are totally misplaced

You can't make a stipulation dat will open you to a restraint of Trade case.

The ICC has to mandate dat players selected for international duty cannot opt out and still be eligible to play in a domestic competition around the same time,

My one question for CWI is what quarantine procedure if any is in place for players returning from the T10 to play in the Super 50.

Isn't that restraint? albeit only WI is faced with the problem it seems - one mercenary group in cricket set up right now!

 
positiveg 2021-01-31 16:07:27 

To me Fletcher and Pooran should be opening for WI in T20.

 
Maispwi 2021-01-31 16:40:12

Would you say dat FIFA mandating Clubs to release players for International duty is restraint?

Like many in this Forum , You relish
lambasting the Players . Never mind the
fact that for many years no the WICBC.CWI is absolutely the Worst
Cricket Board in the Commonwealth .

What is even appalling , is that the
WICBC/CWI has been , and is a Failure
for many years . In my opinion , many people in the Region take fiendish delight in castigating Our Players .

However in my opinion , it is the
WICBC/CWI that has been and continue
to be the Worst Cricket Board in the
Commonwealth .

The WICBC/CWI is over 100 freaking years ; during that time it has commissioned several Reports regarding its Structure ; It got those Reports , however nothing much
was changed .

The Problem with the WICBC/CWI is that those in the WICBC/CWI Think of themselves as Lords ; and Our Players their Serfs .

Unless and until the mien of those in
the governance of Cricket in the Region is changed there aint going to be any improvement in West Indies Cricket .

Has Trinidad announced a new team for the Super 50? A number of their players are playing the T10.
This is the team that was announced:
The full squad reads: Kieron Pollard (captain), Darren Bravo (vice-captain), Evin Lewis, Lendl Simmons, Jason Mohammed, Nicholas Pooran, Sunil Narine, Denesh Ramdin, Imran Khan, Akeal Hosein, Ravi Rampaul, Jayden Seales, Kjorn Ottley, Anderson Phillip, Khary Pierre.

Rovman Powell is also captain of Jamaica. Plus there are other players.

Ah have been trying to find out if quarantine restrictions for those coming from UAE will be waived for the Super 50 to no avail

Let’s face it. T&T can compete against any international squad in T20 and ODI cricket. I opine they would destroy this Bangladeshi team currently toying with the WI.

T&T international starting 11 T20/ODI squad.
