Windies out Champions Trophy

West Indies cricket has now struck an all time low, as they will miss the next Champions Trophy carded for England in 2017. The West Indies is currently ranked ninth in the Reliance ICC ODI ratings and with the Zimbabwe tour not on, they would now have no ODI cricket before the September 30th cut off date, which means they are out of the Champions Trophy, which caters for the top eight teams in the world.
The West Indies, since the ICC World Cup in Australia and New Zealand earlier this year, has been leapfrogged by both Bangladesh and Pakistan and is now on 88 points and ninth place. Their performance at the World Cup where they failed to make the semis hurt the West Indies badly, besides their loss to minnows Ireland in their first match at Nelson.
The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) entered into discussions with the Zimbabwe Cricket Union (ZCU) with the hope of including them in their home series to play a tri-nation against the hosts and Pakistan. However, T&T Guardian understands that the Pakistanis are not interested in going to Zimbabwe for that series as they don’t want to risk the chance of not qualifying for the Champions Trophy if they lose matches.
This has now put the WICB in a spin and they can no longer get their team into the Champions Trophy. In addition to the team not playing, the WICB will also suffer a financial loss since these world events are lucrative for respective cricket boards. What may now happen is that the WICB may still send a team to Zimbabwe to play T20 matches, however there is also a cap on how many international T20s you can play per year and this may also pose a problem.

WI is out of Champions Trophy for the first time. Congratulations to Cameron, Pybus and Lloyd for such a monumental achievement.

The question is whether India hate WI more than they hate Pakistan. If not, they might throw us a life-line and stage a quick ODI tournament.

This is what the WICB deserves for their lack of initiative with planning appropriate odi matches. The board did nothing to secure matches while the likes of Bangladesh and Pakistan were playing series after series.
Re: Windies out Champions Trophy - mapoui - 07-27-2015
pure naked incompetence by the man sketchim always defends...skameron, chair of the wicb..the man who cancelled the indian tour and brought the wicb in line for a 40 million fine.
and that is a crime sketchim now tries to fob off on Bravo and Pollard.
sketchims masters at the wicb prolly instructed him to start that nuisance on the board, to try to creaet disturbance so they can skulk away from blame on this one
no such luck fuh dem. sketchim can get away doing the wicb dirty work fuh dem. deh cyar pay him enuff. is wood in his rarse here and by extension the wicb..wood fuh all ah dem..skam and sketchim and deh cohort

They don't but tough to squeeze in an ODI tournament right away.
As ppl stated,they wouldn't have retained many of those WI players for IPL then
WICB is their adopted child as they call it.They give them the support in ICC meetings,maybe thats why.
