But Benjamin arugues that regional cricket is being hampered by what he described as "small-mindedness" of cricket officials in the region.

"You can't have someone in Jamaica like a Danza Hyatt who is probably better than most of the Leeward Islands batsmen sitting down because Jamaica's selectors did not select him," Benjamin said.

"We can't have someone like a Miguel Cummins in Barbados, because he wasn't selected in the Barbados squad sitting down. How are these guys going to help West Indies cricket and they are decent players?

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Dem nah have freedom of movement in de region so expect no freedom of movement for cricketers.

Plus Leewards full of shyte - dey deserve tier 10.

Any team dat have a fatty playing for them deserves nothing.

U missing the Bus as per usual .....CARICOM trading has been going on for Decades.

Sports like Cricket, is also a tradeable commodity !

Look how all the Caricom players are currently being auction " traded " in the IPL 7 , India.

Kenny Benjamin should mention Windwards Captain Darren Sammy is Traded to Hyderabad Sunrisers !

CPL is also a showcase where Santokie plays for Guyana but cannot get a spot on Jamaica XI

CCC is a similar concept so I see no reason why there cannot be a combined islands plus another team to pick up the players like Hyatt who are not getting games.

Or is it that the standard of the CCC should be raised and Hyatt and others, from all regions, get games through that avenue.

Serena	This batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.
