we've had quite a few last minute announcements of the recent past....is it a new thing, perhaps due to the complexities of the new selection process, players availability, etc?

it can't be that CWI just does not care that fans might want to know?

much about nothing?

CWI don't care that the fans would want to know. As far as they are concerned we need to know at the last minute.

Given that travel and hotel and other arrangements need to be arranged these teams are picked at least a few days after they are announced.

The 3rd t20 starts on Thursday. I am sure the team is already picked but they probably would announce it this afternoon or even tomorrow.

As the series moves to Saint Lucia, experienced all-rounder Andre Russell has been ruled out due to a left ankle sprain sustained during the opening T20I at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday. In his place, all-rounder Shamar Springer, fresh off two T20I games against Sri Lanka, will join the squad.

Alzarri Joseph, having completed his two-match suspension, will rejoin the squad in Saint Lucia for the crucial final leg of the series, replacing Shamar Joseph.

With this huge management team and nothing has changed. We regularly change the playing team but the passengers in the management team remain. Amazing.

I think James Franklin might be a relatively recent addition?

But outside of him, the other names seem very familiar.

I guess you can say at least the management team is stable cool

Onli in Windies cricket does management not get the repercussions of failure.

I say drops Braffit as test cappo.

Drop Hope as ODI cappo.

Powell on probation.

Drop as cappo, noy from the squad.

Failure must have consequences.

Many CEO were fired / retired for better performances.

I know that this is cricklet, however,
one must be made to demonstrate improvement.
Not onli these teams not winning, but not showing improvements.

Braffit and Hope looks ignorant on the field.

At least Powell looks assured on the field.

What happened to Hopper? Wasn't he one of the assistant coaches?

Or it was just a temporary thing?

Looks like they replace the media person too.. used to be another fella.

De assistant coaches got tenure with CWI?
