This is the kind of proactiveness we need in our cricket in general,

Door open for Pooran, Hope, King to play Test matches

West Indies players can now be selected to play in any format—Tests, Twenty20 (T20s) or One-Day Internationals (ODI)—even if they do not play in the corresponding domestic format.

Good pooran must play test hope to see him when west indies tour india next year

I know that there is a lot of optimism regarding this, but the dude is living a lavish lifestyle and his bread is already buttered playing in the multitude of leagues in the world.

I don’t think he will ever play test cricket.

Now, Jewel Andrew…

Yeah, as much as it would bring a lift to the side, Pooran is already picking and choosing when to be available for white-ball cricket as it is.

Selectors picking the right players instead of their favourites is as much the problem.

Why isnt tagnarine chanderpual in wi test team?

He was dropped after Mikyle Louis performed better than him in the regional 4-day competition. His place was in question after the Australian tour at the start of the year.

Interesting to see the name Chesney Hughes, he's played a lot of his cricket in England. Who knows if he has a good season and makes the Windies ODI team. Good signs.

And Tage with a man of the match performance with a fifty. He's warming up nicely for the Super50 after his century in the first match on the inter-county tournament

Chanderpaul, Lord set up 7-wicket win for Demerara - Kaieteur News

GCB Senior Men’s Super50 Inter-county tournament Round 2… Kaieteur Sports – A gritty unbeaten fifty from Tagenarine Chanderpaul and 4 wickets from Devon Lord saw Demerara to an easy 7-wicket win over Berbice yesterday at Bourda. Taking first strike in front of a good crowd, panned out badly for...

[SillyCowCorner1]

Berbice is struggling big time in this tournament as most of our players are in Sri Lanka: Motie, Shepherd, Shamar.

Hetmyer, a Berbician, is not playing in this tournament.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Looks like Motie has climbed up the rankings to #2 T20i bowler,



And this is not even his best format

And Thanos with his best ever ranking on the list,

2. Matthew Nandu
3. Rampertab Ramnauth

Standby Players:

• Devon Lord

• Junior Sinclair
• Richie Looknauth
• Sachin Singh
• Kanhaiya Ramkarran

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Good to see new faces in here with some of the top players on duty for West Indies.

Ashmead Nedd deserves this spot as he is one of the best young players in the region. Isai Thorne continues to get exposure at such a young age. The batting is one that is suited for the red ball game than the white ball, so it will be very interesting to see how the fare against the other teams in this competition.

Richie Looknauth will be disappointed that he didn't make the main squad. He is a really good player.

TT Red Force squad for SUPER50:

Joshua Da Silva (captain), Khary Pierre (vice-captain), Amir Jangoo, Jason Mohammed, Jyd Goolie, Tion Webster, Bryan Charles, Kjorn Ottley, Isaiah Rajah, Terrance Hinds, Anderson Phillip, Yannic Cariah, Mark Deyal, Joshua James


Jason Mohammed still getting picked lol

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jamaica Scorpions squad:


John Campbell (captain), Kirk McKenzie (vice-captain), Odane McCatty, Carlos Brown, Jermaine Blackwood, Javelle Glenn, Romaine Morris (wicketkeeper), Brad Barnes, Odean Smith, Jeavor Royal, Tamarie Redwood,

Ojay Shields, Gordon Bryan, Marquino Mindley

Reserves

Jordan Johnson, Peat Salmon, Daniel Beckford (wicketkeeper), Andre A. McCarthy

+++

John Campbell has returned and is captaining the team. There are several new players. The exclusion of Andre McCarthy from the main squad is quite puzzling.

Any word on Lil Bravo, time up?
