West Indies cricket needs higher standards as benchmarks, fewer celebrities and more team players, better administration at domestic level,a better regional cricket board and a deeper sense of Caribbean Integration. Additionally, there is no need for the Champions tournament to be restricted to 8 teams. Any comparison with foot ball where there are literally scores and possibly/potentially hundreds of teams which demand the elimination of some to procure a true champion is unnecessary.Only a few nations, in a sense , play cricket at an international level.
