Not Even Money…

Can save WI cricket!!!


The board already squandered a surplus and has been useless for many years now!!!


Our best white ball player can make 2 million playing just one league which doesn’t conflict with WI cricket and decided it’s not even worth his time to play for WI!!!


WI have a decent amount of talent but they themselves are not willing to put in the work to become better so they just take the easy way out and blame the board!!!


There’s no way back I think we all have to accept WI cricket is dead!!!

I bet that Pooran 10-20% loss is killing them LOL

wicb have always been terrible managers of money. i doh understand how your side could be number one in the world for 20 years, unbeaten or 15, and allyuh come out of that just as broke as you went in. makes no sense at all

It’s ridiculous, obviously back then cricket didn’t have as much funds as now but to think one small asset investment could’ve reaped an insane amount of money that should’ve kept us afloat for a very long time instead we’re always strapped for cash 🙄
