TTCB dismayed at Bravo’s omission,call on Haynes to explain selection policy:

Desmond Haynes, the former West Indies opening batsman, is seeking pounds 66,000 in damages after being left out of the home series against Australia earlier this year.

Haynes is suing the President of the West Indies Board of Control and the Barbados Association for loss of earnings after being ruled ineligible for selection. His lawyers have filed an affidavit at the Barbados High Court in Bridgetown, detailing his case.

Haynes is also seeking compensation after his contract with Western Province in South Africa was aborted. He claims he also lost earnings with Middlesex and that his reputation was damaged.

The 39-year-old was not considered to face Australia after he opted to play for Western Province instead of touring India with the West Indies last October and then returned home from South Africa too late to play in all five Red Stripe Cup matches. The WICBC had ruled he should play in those domestic games to be eligible for the Australian series. Haynes returned two days late after asking for "exceptional circumstances" to be taken into account. The WICBC refused his request.

Congrats to all the lads who were selected for the tour. May they each enjoy a productive tour Down Under - may it be a valuable learning experience to serve them in good stead for the future.

I wonder if we will be subject to the whining and the plaintive wailing; the crying and the cow-bawling; and the incessant gnashing of teeth and the rending of garments of some who just revel in the role of universal victim. And love to propagate that their countrymen are the casualties of some grand conspiracy of the CWI against them … ?

West indies found an all format gem in motie, hope he plays alot of cricket for west indies. Congrats to Motie.....well done...God's blessings 🙌
