West Indies : Misguided on Future Players ?

"I have said that 2017 is the year when we will have a Test Team to be proud of,"

said West Indies board president Dave Cameron in February.

"By 2017 the product on the field will improve,"

said WICB CEO Michael Muirhead in December.

The current board's intransigent policies make a majority of senior players currently in

the World T20 squad ineligible for these 2016 fixtures :

because they choose to play in the BBL or the PSL instead of the domestic one-day

and first-class competitions..

In the 2000-01 final against Jamaica, the Guyana XI read:

Azeemul Haniff, Sewnarine Chattergoon, Travis Dowlin, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Shivnarine Chanderpaul,

Carl Hooper, Mahendra Nagamootoo, Neil McGarrell, Vishal Nagamootoo, Colin Stuart and Reon King

- arguably the strongest Guyana team seen this millennium in any format...

When comparing that team with the one that just won back-to-back the four-day titles,

you begin to wonder if Guyana have really improved as a result of the PCL,

or is it that their rivals have declined ?  :-\

So let's look at the players with potential who performed in domestic cricket this season

Guyanese will have to go at it alone...they don't get selected.  Even when they do, they get dropped quickly meanwhile the failures from other parts are given the long rides!  >
