You know I took a position on this tour and am in FULL support of the Senior players. There seems to be a lot guys in here don't know about our Board WICB, our guys have been patching thing for years, since Lara was Captain.
To speak about Love of country is BS, and when Tino Best joined the ICL, he was put off by the Barbados Cricket Board, he back then, asked a Journalist interviewing him about throwing his future on WI Team away, he said he did not have a contract, not being selected and there was no supermarket, he could walked into and say am Tino Best and get free groceries!
And he is right so, please drop that play for God and Country crap.
This problem with the WICB has been festering for years, and it just reached a point that enough is enough. I mean you play for Country as someone mentioned, but when you get to an airline ticket counter you do not have a ticket, because the Board owing the Airline, so WIPA has to pay just for one or two players to get to tour and look for thier refund from WICB. How much more does anyone need to understand the problem?
If need be I can produce some more. Like players, don't have contract, so they ae not covered by Insurance for injuries. Or your injury needs 6 weeks therapy, but the people will not work with the players in certain countries because WICB owes them money.
