Sad we are not there and unfair to global fans who cannot comprehend why we missed out.

I pick NZ to win it.

Think they should rename.it to the knock cup.....they are now champions playing ....

Wl have to do better than this ...too much talent to be out of ICC events

All these t20 leagues having better players unavailable for series have hurt WI over years and not gaining points to climb ICC table

Are they really being missed?

I was wondering where the talent is hidden. We can always console ourselves by blaming the selections for always picking the wrong teams.

The sad truth

It is a shame that West Indies is not in the champions trophy. I think that the team that went to ICC qualifier in 2023 was very weak in the bowling department. The current ODI team is looking much stronger and deserved to be in the Champions trophy.

Speaking of talent, why is the West Indies test batting so weak? Where are all the good batsmen? What is the reason for the decline in batting?

In reply to kapil_dev

Batting has declined all over the cricket World, but the WI batting has declined more because the better batters only play in the shorter formats. However, it is a relief to see ODI cricket, it has more content and substance than T20 cricket.
