    Powerful initiative. As a west indies fan i support this team. As a UWI alumni i support this team also. As a Dominican i welcome this initiative. So it’s a win-win-win for me. All the stakeholders have won.

    I thank the Presidents X! will be too powerful for the Chancellor’s X!. I know it’s a charity game but it’s unbalanced

    That’s the team them fellars selected man? No Roosevelt Skerrit? I will support the game but once again the selectors keep discriminating against Dominican superstars and players. I expected to see players like Theophil and no doubt Roosevelt Skerrit, who should be the captain of the team with most players that boycotted the Indian tour all because of love of money. A strong leader like Skerrit would do a very good job in getting those guys to play for pride first, instead of love for money.
