Even a lower league would be good. No links?

Overwhelmingly, Bajans get signed for English cricket.

Outside of AlJo and Seales……who else? You telling me the likes of Akeem Jordan could get signed but players like Shamar, Jeremiah Louis, Motie, Thorne etc cyah get a look in? Far less for any of our batsmen not named Brathwaite?

It seems like the Barbadians have the connections or better agents.

Congratulations Akeem keep working hard

Has always been a very hard working and skillful bowler, but we are a pace obsessed nation.

That and the fact that he from Bimshire since such players get an easier pathway and a longer career, so no adoration for this lad.

Where was the "pace like fire" when Jordan took those 5 - fer from 26.2 overs?

Likewise the tits have the more luxury deal, they have the gateway to Mother India contracts.
