HEADLINE: WEST INDIES BREAKOUT LEAGUE PROTECTED PLAYERS CONFIRMED

The six franchise teams competing in the highly anticipated West Indies Breakout League have officially confirmed their seven protected players ahead of the upcoming player draft.

As per tournament regulations, each team is allowed to protect seven cricketers, with a maximum of three players aged between 27 and 29. The remaining seven players per squad will be selected during the draft, and they must all be 26 years old or younger. Recognizing their importance to the T20 game, CWI has also mandated that one of the protected seven players must be a leg spinner.

To maintain the league’s focus on emerging talent, all players must also have limited professional experience, defined as having played fewer than 40 List A T20 matches and fewer than 10 International T20s.

Don't see any fresh talent in that list... thought this league is to identify new talents..

Find it strange that Guyana did not retain Thorne.

Why is Jamaica retaining Ramaal Lewis?

This shaping up to be another big waste of money by CWI.

pooran looked very good on a difficult wicket last week

The REVO is not one dimensional. Look at the talent on the Leewards squad- Jewel, Mikyle, Keacy while Karima and the young leggie will make names for themselves.

See nothing wrong with Springer as he is still young and has allround potential.

So did I until I saw Lugg and Lewis on the Jamaican team, both of whom were high school seniors when my great-grandfather was a high school freshman.

What is CWI trying to accomplish here? Has Bascombe lost his mind similar to how he frequently lost his offstump?

In reply to imusic

Springer is younger than Pooran, why not comment on him.

In reply to anthonyp

Old management trick. Stimulating activities to garner interest and get the masses interested shows that work is being done at the top level. Regardless of the quality of the activities ....

In reply to tc1

There must be thousands of West Indies youngsters playing cricket in India, Australia and England, who may be interested in playing for CWI.
Several Jamaican sprinters represent Canada.
