Lara reappointment 'lacks vision'

Brian Lara’s reappointment as West Indies captain has not gone down well with everyone. An editorial in the Guyana-based Stabroek News is less than enthusiastic.

“It proves that the decision-makers still lack vision or are too timid to make the hard decisions and prefer to be politically correct instead. If you add a touch of insularity one cannot go too wrong either.

“It is said he has the experience and maturity to take the team through the World Cup and beyond, but those qualities do not automatically translate into tactical awareness and motivational skills on the field of play.”
