IF there’s interest from the selection panel aka Darren Sammy

I believe he currently plays for USA?

If so, can he “transfer” if he’s called and accepts?

Cause he scored two fifties at the beginning of the season,
you hailing him?
Wait till the later games when the analyst work him out.

Get real.

Who will he displace?
A batsman in King, Lewis, Hope, Hetty, Rutty, Carty, Atty, or Powell?

An allrounder in Holder, Shepherd, Greaves, Chase, or
Allen, and the various youths vying for incumbent spot.

Obviously not a bowler.

Please select a squad and show where Gore fits in.

My thoughts exactly! Let’s see how de does over the course of the season.
When I watch most these matches our bowlers don’t know how to limit batsmen scoring opportunities!

You making assumptions as usual. Comprehension has always been a problem for you so at least you’re consistent.

In no way am I advocating for Gore to play for WI.

I found his situation interesting given the recent debate that WI should look to the diaspora for the composition of the team.

It’s a hypothetical. Maybe you should google that word.

IF there was interest, would Gore be eligible?

No need for you to respond. You’ll just continue to make an ass of yourself.

His last game for USA was 4 years ago, so he is eligible. He already suited up for Leewards. However let the season play out. He played a dumb unnecessary shot yesterday when all was needed was for us to keep wickets in hand as we were already ahead of the rate. Both Jewel and his dismissals were unnecessary. I saw Viv in Jewel's ear.

King is crap in white ball, esp ODIS where he averages sub 30. Lewis is always injured. So yes aything is possible however I agree to early to say. However he is eligible as the rule is 3 years from his last INTL game for the USA which was 4 years and that is why he suited up fro Leewards last season to be in consideration for WI.

Articles 2.1 and 2.2.


2.1 A Player shall be qualified to participate in an International Match or ICC Event for a National Cricket
Federation where he satisfies at least one of the following requirements (the “Nationality
Qualification Criteria”):
2.1.1 the Player was born in the country whose domestic cricket governing body is the National
Cricket Federation;
NOTE: The relevant information and documentation required to evidence satisfaction of the Nationality
Qualification Criteria are described in Appendix 2. Where requested, such information (and
documentation) must be provided in a timely fashion to the ICC.


2.1.2 at the date of submission of the relevant information to the ICC, the Player is able to
demonstrate (by his/her possession of a valid passport issued by the relevant country) that
he/she is a national of the country whose domestic cricket governing body is the National
Cricket Federation; or

2.1.3 at the date of submission of the relevant information to the ICC, the Player is a Resident
of the country whose domestic cricket governing body is the National Cricket Federation.
For the purposes of this Article, a Player will be deemed to be a ‘Resident' of a particular
country if the Player has had his/her primary and permanent home in the relevant country
for the immediately preceding three years, and Residence and Residency shall be
construed accordingly.

Looks like he is exempted from the 3 year rule as he is moving from an associate member to a full member team 2.2.1:

2.2 Nothing in Article 2.1 shall operate to prohibit a Player from representing more than one National
Cricket Federation during his/her playing career. However, where a Player (whether male or
female) has represented a National Cricket Federation (at Under-19 level or above) and
subsequently seeks to play for a different National Cricket Federation, he/she will only qualify to
play in an International Match or ICC Event for a National Cricket Federation if he/she satisfies the
eligibility criteria set out herein and, subject to Article 2.2.1 below, he/she has not participated (as
a member of a starting XI or as a playing or non-playing official substitute) in an International Match
(at Under-19 level or above) for any other National Cricket Federation during the three years
immediately preceding the date of the relevant International Match or ICC Event.

2.2.1 For the avoidance of doubt, the restriction set out in Article 2.2 shall not apply to any Player
(whether male or female) who is seeking to qualify to play in an International Match or ICC
Event for a Full Member National Cricket Federation in circumstances where such Player
has previously played in an International Match or ICC Event for an Associate Member
National Cricket Federation.[b] In other words, a zero stand out period shall apply in the case
of a Player who has previously represented an Associate Member National Cricket
Federation and who is seeking to qualify to play in an International Match or ICC Event for
a Full Member National Cricket Federation.[/b]

Either way i am certain of his eligibility as 3 years surpassed and it may not have mattered. All he has to do is prove residence in Antigua or hold an Antigua and Barbuda passport.
