He is the best spinner and has a decent record in hi limited career so far. Spinners need time to develop and you need to invest in them.

This chop and change won’t work

Blessing for Motie, NOw he should joint guyana amazon warriors for the global super league and make real money.

Motie has been playing cricket non stop for a while...at some point he will get tired and less effective....

there is still another 8 T20s and ODIs for the year

it is a good choice for him to be rested....he needs the break imho

there is a Pakistan test series in January,,,'

Behind the scenes so he can play in the laughable curry goat cricket in the so called "South American" league. What a buss and a horrible waste of time.

Watch d ride, what the clown Irfan and his drunken fools trying to copycat a tourism drive by cricket carnival."

No context, lots other premier cricket taking place globally and some washed up "international stars" making a nice payday.

Only affected party is WI cricket.

I don't think Moti has been dropped!!!!

Global League is something, which all the national boards and CWI are looking... With lots of expectations. Commercial wise... Revenue....

It is imperative that the host nation must have strong and star studded team to attract crowd and make the tournament a success....

Motie, Hety and few others are important for local success....

Moti is one of the all format contract player....so he refusing or CWI dropping..... it's all mutual....CWI & Guyana Board both decided...Moti to be part of the League

As far as test cricket is concerned....the team is strong team....

CWI could have easily stated in their press release whether Motie was dropped or rested, rather than have us speculating and debating.

Let’s see if Motie is labeled as a prima donna and mercenary by “WI fans”

If they do, at the very least they’ll be consistent. cool
