Seeking options for WI cricket

The recent gifting away of the first one-day international to England by the management of the West Indies cricket team once again raises the question of the administration of the game in the Caribbean, says an editorial in the Trinidad and Tobago Guardian.

In some parts of the cricketing world, both Dyson and Khan would have been looking for jobs the following day. But West Indian fans have grown so used to the self-generated, off-field distractions from within the administrative ranks of the West Indies Cricket Board that it is no surprise that neither was called to account for their shortcomings in calculation. This, coming on the heels of the abandoned Test match in Antigua, was another well-directed bouncer at West Indies cricket which clearly struck the target. Such indiscretions continue the blunders of the current and past regimes of West Indies cricket and provide major challenges to the game in these parts.
