Youngsters denied chance to develop in West Indies T20 team
Bryan Davis -
THE BAD news is that on the ratings schedule in the T20 format, the West Indies (WI) T20 team lies 10th of the top 12 international cricket teams in the world.
The good news is that they have 15 matches at home between June and August to correct this imbalance. The opposition, in order of challenge, is South Africa, Australia and Pakistan.
For an idea of where we stand, all three of the above are ahead of us. Ireland, the newest kids on the block, lie behind; and so does Zimbabwe. Interestingly, ahead of WI are Bangladesh at ninth and Afghanistan at seventh. Sri Lanka are eighth but were defeated 2-1 by WI in a three-match series very recently in Antigua, although not convincingly.
