Cricket in Barbados is currently facing retribution - a situation similar to the past 10-15 years. Mike Worrell, the former Barbados wicketkeeper-batsman, in the Nation News believes the dismal state has been due to a result of poor planning and decision-making by its administrators and poor selection policies.
The worst effort I thought was in the points system this year. I hope next season will see a revision to what is now in place. I hope that as a body the BCA can move away from the present system of electing board members, to one where the best people can be selected.
Also of concern is the selection of the national coaches. This year on two occasions the coach of Barbados' senior team put the blame squarely on the shoulders of the players in terms of their performances in regional competitions.
