Keemo paul needs to play

Why guyana playing 2 emerging players in blades and anderson.

They should have dropped anderson and play keemo paul.

moeen ali has been useless since he lost the final last year with that 26 runs expensive over.

trinidad has the strongest team by far.

time to let tahir and moeen ali go next year.

Guyana amazon warriors needs younger players who can play T20 cricket.

Kelvin Anderson will never be a t20 player, I agree with what you say about Moeen, but since they are committed to him, he should open and Keemo should come in the middle

The issue here is that teams have to play a breakout player each match. GAW 3 designated breakout players are Anderson, Quentin Sampson and Riyad Latif. One of those 3 have to play.

Blades and Savory were not drafted as breakout players even though they played in the breakout league.

I do not like this emerging player rules. I think the best players should play.

It's a shame we have players like keemo paul sitting on the bench and kevlon anderson is playing ahead of him.

pretorius is also on the decline, i think this is his last season.

moeen ali is finish, he is too old and he bats too slow for t20 cricket.

What has Keemo Paul done recently, except be always injured? I agree on the old players but certainly Guyana needs to look beyond Paul. Also agree on Anderson. I see nothing in him that suggests he will be a first class batsman.
Most teams in the CPL need to re-tool next year. The problem is where will they find younger players who can fill grounds?

The indictment is not on the emerging players per sé. Not the only team doing so. Kelvon has been a real disappointment

It takes time for many batters to adjust to T20 batting, especially when they were coached to be technically correct batters. However, it seems like Guyana's bowling is the weak part of the team.

Yes. Anderson didnt impressed me during the breakout league even though he was Guyana's best batter.

A possible solution is to drop Anderson. Bring in sampson. Sampson can bat at 8 or 9.

Open with either moeen or Keemo (if you are going to drop moeen for keemo), motie is another option to open. He can be used like how Narine was used as an opener.

Technically correct? What are you smoking? There is not one technically correct batsman in the entire West Indies, irregardless of age.
