It used to be in the days of Shell Shield cricket

• combine the Dotties ( leeward and windward ) not strong enough as regional forces
• jamaican cricket also weak - might combine with WI academy
• TnT Guyana are the strongest
• Bajan is moderate if the best players are chosen

we don’t need more than 4/5 of the strongest teams competing against each other - then select the best 15 after with 2nd eleven going on A team tour

We could start with preparing better pitches and having a home and away league format. The top 4 advancing to a "Super Cup".

Yes pitches are a given

and home and away but only among the 4/5 best teams

we don’t need

• academy team
• leeward and windwards
• Jamaica

being at subpar strength it’s better to merge the weaker teams into 1 or 2 and play competitive cricket

appoint good coaches and technical staffers plus of course good pitches

• Jamaica and Barbados pitches that take pace
• Trinidad and Guyana pitches spin
• combine island pitches for pace also

get a solid sponsor like Massey or Saigcor or the oil companies of Guyana

pay good prize monies for performances

Simple solution to a simple problem. Although I don’t buy that the Australian series pitches were bad. They suited or strengths which just also happened to be our weakness
