Since the T20 World Cup is only two months away and the selection debate has begun among the participants. But West Indies Cricket are worried about their poor outings in the last series of T20Is.
Star players are not included in the national team. When India toured the West Indies for a five-game T20I series, two West Indies strong and versatile players Andre Russell and Sunil Narine didn’t join. However, the two have appeared in England’s domestic league The Hundred.
Before the start of the three-game T20I series against New Zealand, West Indies head selector Desmond Haynes and head coach Phil Simmons They spoke to the media and expressed disappointment that their players did not dedicate themselves to their national team, but played league matches.
Haynes said, “I would love for everybody to play for the West Indies. I want to make sure all the boys are ready to play. But you have to understand that the guys now have options, and if the guys are picking other franchises ahead of the West Indies, then we have to pick one that’s right for us.” It was absolutely clear that Russell and Sunil Narine were not talked about. Russell will also launch from January next year. will feature in the UAE’s IT20, a new league. “From what I gather, I think he’s unavailable because he didn’t make himself available,” Haynes said directly about Russell.
About the situation, Simmons said, “It hurts. There is no other way to put it. But what can you do? I don’t think I should beg people to play for their country. If you want to represent the West Indies, I think you will qualify yourself.
