TT RED Force coach and lead selector David Furlonge said the line of communication between Cricket West Indies (CWI) and territorial boards is poor, as players are often left in the dark on why they are not considered for the West Indies team.
CWI chief selector Desmond Haynes illustrated such on Monday, during an online media conference, when he said that he owed former ODI vice captain Rovman Powell a call to explain his non-selection for the upcoming One-Day International series against England, bowling off on December 3 in Antigua. He also failed to explain why TT left-arm orthodox Akeal Hosein was omitted, saying he "was not too sure about the Hosein situation."
Red Force skipper Darren Bravo, 34, was also surprisingly overlooked. Bravo was the leading run scorer with 416 runs in the CG United Super50 tournament which ended on November 11. His contributions were valuable as it led Red Force to the Super50 title.
However, Haynes said that the board is building towards the 2027 ICC World Cup and has decided to focus on younger players.

Can we allow Haynes to run roughshod like this
when he said that he owed former ODI vice captain Rovman Powell a call to explain his non-selection for the upcoming One-Day International series against England, bowling off on December 3 in Antigua. He also failed to explain why TT left-arm orthodox Akeal Hosein was omitted, saying he "was not too sure about the Hosein situation."

The Red Force coach looks like he has some flaws of his own, Powell was not selected because he did nothing to justify selection, Husien was not selected because Motie is more effective in ODI cricket at this time, also the coach has been around long enough to know that there are issues in the relationship of Sammy and Bravo

There's an obsession with wrist spinners even if they are Mediocre.
Pick your best players.
Motie will not make the t20 team because of this foolishness.

The territorial boards are very weak especially Trinidad and Jamaica. They allow Haynes to treat their players like trash and they do nothing to show they are standing for their players. How could you continue to keep Daren Bravo out of West Indies team in all versions when he keeps showing he is the damn best batsman we have?Trinidad in particular should withdraw itself from Cricket West Indies and work on playing as an independent team, just as we see regional teams playing football as an independent country
