Windies selectors must rethink strategy

The West Indies selectors are trying to blood too many young players at one time and they must rethink this strategy according to T&T cricket official Richard Ramkissoon.

Ramkissoon who is the president of Central Sports cricket club that competes at the top level in domestic cricket said, “Looking at our team in New Zealand, the players are too inexperienced.

The selectors are blooding too many young cricketers at the same time and this must change. Some of those guys on the team have played just between 10 to 15 First Class matches and yet they are on the West Indies. Look at New Zealand leg-spinner Todd Astle, he played 115 First Class matches before getting a look in.”

    no comments on the ridiculous selection choices of the jokers WHO control west indies cricket ..We are left to see our heroes of cricket at the IPL where the stars like NARINE a now accomplished batsman in 20.20, as well and even in Bangladesh where Johnson scored his 100 .
    Only when we watch the Indian and other countries who select our best on merit for the crowd entertainment do we see and enjoy west indies cricketers —————
    SAMMY ,Dwayne Bravo, Dwayne Smith and Pollard etc -the best of the world 20/20 players .Sammy is good enough to captain in India but not good for the pathetic team here which those clowns present to the world as our west indies cricket ?

    I agree 100%! Bad team selection. But we should not blame selectors alone. We should also blame the coach who, after the England series said selectors should not make too many changes and those selectors listened to him
    If it were a west Indian coach the board would probably fine him for going public, like they did to Simmons

    It is obvious that the selectors and Management board are suffering from a neocolonialist syndrome ,
    The qualified cricketers who have the talent and skills particularity in 20.20 cricket are kept out at the whim of the MASSA mania of these irrelevant personages who comprise the board of cricket while the adoring public of our heroes are left with a bunch of kids playing cricket whist the professional are kept out ,
    The attitude that the grown men who are the real talents of our cricket should bow down to the characters who lead west indies cricket shows how pathetic our cricket public is in accepting the ridiculous presentation by these bunch of amateur cricketers whilst the best of our cricketers are left out!
    Tell me cricket lovers why are the following players not the most regular on 20 ..20
    GAYLE -JOHNSON- Phil Simmonds -Pollard-Russell-Sammy -SAMUEL-Bravo-Dwayne Smith -Devon Smith-and the spin of Trinidad and even Shillingford of Dominica
