Former Cricket West Indies (CWI) president, Dave Cameron, insists the controversial eligibility rules put in place during his tenure were never meant to disenfranchise players.

The legislation, which was implemented as the region jostled with the cash-rich T20 leagues for the commitment of its top players, stated that players who did make themselves available for domestic competitions would be ineligible for international selection.

“It was never about not wanting players to play around the world.  We respected that, we accepted that, but, West Indies cricket doesn’t have a product if we don’t have our best players playing.  So we needed to find a way to get our players to have the understanding that you can’t play everything,” Cameron told the Mason and Guest radio program.

You shut up sgtdjonass you sound like a real dodo head! You don't even realize we are dealing with some greedy people who do not have a bone of patriotism or pride in them. See, some of them lied their way out of the tour of New Zealand, only to go elsewhere to play their T20 and make big bucks, then came down with covid. Talk about justice.

Not bad teams, well balanced and the ODI focus on youth is good. The T20 focus on the best team currently to help us defend he crown.

I am surprised that you guys, who know so much about West Indies cricket, are not aware of this development. Or, is it that you are the one being pretentious? I would advise you to do your investigation. You may be surprised at what you find.
