Cricket West Indies (CWI) chief of selectors, Roger Harper, has admitted that there is some concern over the form of batsman Shimron Hetmyer after the player failed to secure a retainer contract.

The 24-year-old explosive batsman has been previously heralded as one of West Indies cricket’s brightest prospects but has not been at his best in recent seasons.

Hetmyer has not played a Test for the regional team since 2019, against Afghanistan, and has not played in a One Day International since January of last year, against Ireland.  In addition to that, the player has twice failed fitness tests during the period.

“I still think Shimron is the type of player that has the ability to be a world-class player in every format going forward,” Harper told members of the media via an online video chat on Thursday.

So what's the plan Mr. Harper? At the moment Dehli Capitals kept him pretty focused during the IPL! Are you telling us he's not going to play against SA?

Something is terribly wrong with you guys Roger and although I know what it is I won't mention it here but those who follow WI cricket assiduously will pick up on it.

1: Treatment of Lara
2: Treatment of Chanderpaul
3: Treatment of Hetmyer

Need I say more? You guys must get your act together Roger and as for you Jimmy, shame on you for this idiotic new leadership crap. It makes no sense at all.

It's likely overthinking of an issue, over management.

Unfortunately, money may no longer be the motivator for Hetty, after IPL money.

Don't think he's a head case yet. Did they offer a conditional contract or didn't bother? All those contracts should be conditional.
