Windies board to allow players to play in Champions League while a Test is underway.

Primacy for Test cricket! That is something the cricket boards all over world swear by. But not everyone walks the talk. The talk in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Indian Premier League (IPL) circles is that the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has decided to let its players take part in the Champions League Twenty20 ahead of a Test match that the Caribbean team will be involved in. The players surely are not complaining.

The Twenty20 tournament starts on September 13 in India while the second Test between the West Indies and Bangladesh ends in Gros Islet on September 17. The clash of dates could have prevented a few players from taking part in the richest tournament in the game and the WICB decided not to come their way.

So, for players like Kirk Edwards (Barbados Tridents), Dwayne Bravo (Chennai Super Kings) and may be even Sunil Narine (Kolkata Knight Riders), participation in the Champions League will not be a problem. They will be given the right to choose between the country and the club.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Methink it was a great Plan :

Windies get like a coupla hundred Grand IPL compensation PLUS the Young players !

Its called having yuh cake and eat it too !  ::LOL::


you can't have your cake and eat it too

This phrase is easier to understand if it is read as "You can't eat your cake, and have it too".

Obviously once you've eaten your cake, you won't have it any more.

Used for expressing the impossibility of having something both ways,  ;)

Is WICB a bitch of the BCCI..? They seem to be accepting anything that BCCI offers..I mean no offense but shouldn't they put national interest first..?
WICB should sideline them and make sure they don't feature in international games.


Is it all completely based on players choice..??

While I am a bigger fan of players playing for their country, and like to see more matches in this format, this is good news and an added bonus for WI players. In fact it took a long time for me to actually accept and gather interest in a Premiere League format of the game, since you don't feel the same urge of cheering for your own country men. But a players career is short, and it is great if he can gather more experience playing and some moolah at the same time.

I cant see why they cant organise test cricket and other tournaments in such a way that they do not over lap. It is a difficulty decision for a player to choose between playing for country, which does not pay him much, and playing in a tournament which pays him a lot.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."		(13.09.2025, 10:58)(10:58)0

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches.
