Waugh worried youth missing out in West Indies

West Indies have missed a terrific chance to get more children playing cricket during the World Cup, according to Steve Waugh. Waugh said ticket prices were too high for many locals and organisers had failed to understand the importance of promoting the game.

“The Caribbean has missed a great opportunity to educate the young kids about cricket,” he told AFP. "If anything you'd think they'd let them in for nothing.

"They should have asked the common people what they should have been doing. Why overcharge when it's a great chance for the Caribbean to showcase what they've got and get kids back into cricket?" Denzil Douglas, the prime minister of St Kitts and Nevis, said during the group matches that tickets were not too expensive and locals had been given time to save.
