What about his 2 year all format contract? Was he eligible for that?



Brandon King was poorly handled by CWI back in 2019.They have destroyed his cricketing career thus far and as a result he is a shadow of the batsman he was in 2019.

Brandon had a really good first class season in early 2019.In 7 matches he had 1 century and 6 half-centuries and averaged 48.Later that summer he scored an exciting 77 for WI A vs India A and I felt he was being groomed for a test call within a few months.

HOWEVER in the CPL he was drafted into the Guyana Amazon Warriors and had a breakout season as an opener in the CPL where he scored almost 500 runs at an average of 55 including a breathtaking innings of 132. THE IDIOTIC SELECTORS then drafted him into T 20 tours with the West Indies team causing him to miss the 2020 first class season and then when they named the team to tour England in 2020 to play 3 test matches they picked his countrymen Blackwood and Bonner instead.I suggest that this was a huge mistake because watching Brandon King in 2025 he is a mere shadow of the player of 2019.His defense is weak and tentative particularly against spin and sometimes he misjudges the line of the ball coming back into him from outside off stump.

If ever white ball cricket led to the deterioration of a red ball cricketer then Brandon King is the poster child for that scenario.

@Dukes

It is always distressing when players believe that they have to shelve some of the technique that brought them success in red ball cricket to worship at the alter of the white ball variety

@Maispwi

Coaching helps in this scenario.
