Narine Opts out : Pybus - ketchim - 05-30-2014
Narine opts out of Windies Test squad !!!
WICB Director of Cricket Richard Pybus explained that the guiding principle of the Windies First Policy
which was recently approved by the Board of Directors requires players to make themselves available
for team preparations.

“The onus of the WICB is to protect the integrity of international cricket at all times.
International cricket, and specifically Test cricket, is priority and requires dedicated preparation which
is integral to team success. The WICB policy requires players to commit to sufficient preparation
leading in to a series as part of a culture of excellence,†....Pybus said.

Off spinner Sunil Narine has advised the West Indies Cricket Board that he has opted to remain
in India to participate in the final of the Indian Premier League and consequently will not join
the West Indies Training Camp in preparation for the Test Series against New Zealand
by June 1st as is required by the WICB. -

Narine will be considered for selection to the squad for the two Twenty20 Internationals against
New Zealand on July 5th and 6th in Dominica. -

Re: Narine Opts out : Pybus - ketchim - 05-30-2014
Is this why New Zealand Captain Brendon McCullum LOST his IPL semi final today :
TO PRESERVE the integrity of TEST cricket ???
hhhhmmmmm....
Re: Narine Opts out : Pybus - ketchim - 05-30-2014
Is this why the New Zealand XI consisted of 1 Jamaican :
because Kane Williamson still playing for Yorkshire ?
and Integrity demanded a Jamaican play to FIELD a Kiwi XI :-\
hhhhmmmm....

Re: Narine Opts out : Pybus - ketchim - 05-30-2014
Narine’s decision not to join the camp by June 1 will result in him not being considered for selection
to the West Indies squad for the Tests Series v New Zealand (June 8th to 30th).

Honestly, I don't blame him for making the choice he made. If the IPL is in his best interest so be it. You can't begrudge him for that.
