Select the best
Dear Editor,
The Windies team selected for the Global T20 Tournament in Canada in a few days is an opportunity to groom future Windies stars. At least that’s what Courtney Browne, Chairman of the selectors, would have us believe.
After all, it sounds wonderful from a public relations perspective. Unfortunately, that’s all that it is. How can you select future stars and not include any or all –Kirst Kallicharan, Bhaskar Yadram, or Amir Jangoo? All three showcased their outstanding talent recently and in the past. Their exclusion is entirely in keeping with the selection process in Windies cricket for decades, however.
If Browne and company are sincere in moving West Indies cricket forward, the best players must and should always be selected.
Instead, Browne and his cohorts continue to hijack West Indies cricket by a random hit and miss selection process where a certain bizarre criterion is followed.
Please give each and every deserving player the same opportunity to represent the Windies that you are giving to others. It is really the only decent thing to do.
Thank you.
Tony Boodhoo
Ontario, Canada.
