Auguste and Andrew. Very interesting. Clearly regarded as a developmental series then.

Curious about the developmental thing as it pertains to Vitel Lawes

The power that is determined that it’s more beneficial for Lawes to be around the West Indies senior team setup than it is to send him to Sri Lanka to get actual playing time and experience in spin friendly conditions.

Is Sampson's batting that poor that he can only make his regional T20 team? It was surprising he was included in the WI T20 squad/

@dayne

I hope Sampson doesn’t end up

like Jeremy Solozano, selected to the squad and then never played at the time or since.
