Two WI players pick CLT20 over Tests - chairman - 08-30-2014
Two West Indies players considered for selection for the first Test against Bangladesh in St Vincent have opted to play in the Champions League T20 in India instead. The WICB did not reveal who the players were, and said their "decisions will not have any deleterious effect on consideration for future West Indies selection" because the CLT20 had "an ICC approved window on the international schedule."
The qualifying round of the Champions League begins on September 13, the day the second Test against Bangladesh commences. Apart from players in the Barbados Tridents squad that won the Caribbean Premier League, seven other West Indies players are representing IPL franchises in the Champions League. They are: Sunil Narine, Dwayne Bravo, Lendl Simmons, Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Smith, Andre Russell and Samuel Badree.

Rather, who wants to play before a hundred napping mamas boys, church ladies, and 40-year-old virgins when they can play before a screaming, excited, sellout crowd. :-[
