We need to build a jail for the CWI. The victimization is alarming. No contract for Mikyal Louis, a youth that CWI is supposed to be nurturing. Just discarded. No contract for Jangoo. No contract for DaSilva.
Why? The obvious plan seems to be only those liked by Sammy are rewarded. After the upcoming white wash in India, we will see what CWI's next backward move will be.

The disappearance of Silva while equal non performers like Athanaze, Greaves and Carty are retained is amazing. The West Indies vice captaincy is something that every man dreads!!!

@VIX

Can we get ADMIN to sticky this info? So that when WI are looking for players to select we ALL can remember who should NOT be selected. Why? When WI select non-contracted players and they decline selection, fandom won't throw tantrums and misguided statements around.
