England selected Jacob Bethell 21 years
Australia Sam Konstas 19 years

Why is this 21-year-old being ignored, it has to be POB.

Not good enough yet

Besides…..Ackeem Auguste is another up and comer who was the best performing batsman by some distance of those that went to the batting camp in India. Same camp that KW attended.

Why you doh ask about him? Must be POB

Agreed he should replace Kraigg Brathwaite. 40 somethings need only apply.

Ackeem not ready yet. Let us see if he could apply what he learnt in the R4D.

Greaves earned his place. When it comes to the tour of Pakistan Roach, is needed to prop up the depleted pace bowling attack. This should be a farewell tour for Brathwaite and dasilver.

They could go with either one of them... they won't do worst than some of the ones in the current setup.

As I realize that I am getting old,
please refresh my mind by naming those so-called young Bajans.

Asking for a friend and me.

My daughter is the one with the flags, telling people she is more Bajan than me, I should have left her here in Calgary and taken my boys, the number of times the three of them vacation with me.
Cocky, cocky, but I love her. big grin

Hoping to see Anderson, Wickham and Andrew have dominant regionals and advance to the senior teams. Still also have hope for McKenzie. Wish they were some young fast bowlers being developed around the region who want to bowl fast and not just medium to sweet.

Louis averaged+ 40 at regionals before he was selected albeit in just one season.

i think that we should all learn a lesson from the Louis selection and give these guys a chance to mature at regional and A level before being rushed into the test team. In any event, Imlach and now Jangoo are ahead of these three in the line. They cannot be discarded for someone with a 40 average in one season.

The Louis selection is too early for these judgments. That is the problem with you guys you all are very impatient looking for the next flavor of the month.
