Could the CWI explain Retainer Contracts 2025

Oct 09, 2025 Letters, Sports

Letter to the Editor

Dear Cricket West Indies (CWI) could you please explain:-

Why NONE of the top-25 batsmen from the 2025 West Indies Championship was given a Retainer Contract?
Why only three of the batsmen chosen to tour India were from among the top-25 Batsmen of 2025?
Why only one of the Batsman for the First Test vs India, was from among the top-25 of 2025?

Thank you.
