-WICB cannot allow Richard Pybus’s plans to professionalize the regional first-class season go the way of the Patterson report
ANOTHER unsatisfactory West Indies first-class season ends this weekend.
It has once more proceeded without most of the leading players, on simultaneous T20 duties in Bangladesh for West Indies, then in the UAE for their IPL franchises, or otherwise injured.
Chris Gayle, Darren Sammy, Sunil Narine and Dwayne Bravo didn’t have a single match; Marlon Samuels, Andre Russell and Denesh Ramdin one each, Keiran Pollard two. Kemar Roach’s shoulder injury persists after five months.
There was the usual conspicuous lack of promotion so that public and media interest was again negligible.
