Philo Wallace opinion on what t20 squad - chairman - 02-01-2026
Former West Indies cricketer Philo Wallace believes Cricket West Indies (CWI) May Not Have Selected The Strongest Possible Squad For Next Month’s ICC T20 World Cup.
He Said : " The squad selections have raised a few concerns, particularly the inclusion of Johnson Charles. At the T20 level, he hasn’t made a significant impact despite being around for a long time, and his performances haven’t really stood out.
I don’t have much familiarity with Sampson either. I watched him play in Abu Dhabi and wasn’t particularly impressed. When I compare that to Shamar Springer—whom we also saw in Abu Dhabi and who genuinely lifted the standard of West Indies T20 cricket—it feels like a player of his caliber would be more suited to a World Cup squad.
He Added : " I’m also not convinced about Shimron Hetmyer; in my view, he has disappointed us on far too many occasions.
