Let us tell you, there are many players around the world who have rejected their team’s national contract to play franchise league cricket.

In recent times, it has also been seen that many West Indies players are giving importance to franchise league cricket instead of playing for the national team. Now the West Indies team has to play a Test series against Australia at their home. Brian Lara has joined the West Indies team as a mentor in the Test series against Australia. Brian Lara on SEN Sportsday said, ‘We have to accept this. Franchise cricket is being played all over the world and the West Indies Board is facing a lot of problems because the players do not want to play for the national team and are giving more importance to franchise league cricket. I think the first thing we have to do is retain the young players. It is wrong to tell 18 or 19 year old boys that I am going to play in the IPL and I don’t care about West Indies cricket. I think we have not brought West Indies cricket to us as Caribbean people and why should you play for the West Indies?’ I want more and more talented players to get a chance to play for the national team: Brian Lara The former West Indies captain further said, ‘I want to see more and more talented players playing for the national team. We also have very talented players. Our players can perform well even at the big level. We all know how strong the Australian team is and they will not give us a chance.

This was also necessary because both of their players had performed very well in the ICC ODI World Cup. He definitely should have got a break. Now both these players would like to perform well against Afghanistan.

They were given rest because after this the team had to play the ODI World Cup and both these players had to perform well in ODIs. And that’s what they did. This is the reason why other young players got more and more opportunities. The team management and selectors are thinking right. At that time he had to focus on ODI cricket and World Test Championship. Now we are moving towards T20 cricket and their focus should be on this format. Former Indian selector expressed his views regarding the final team of T20 World Cup Regarding the final team of T20 World Cup 2024, MSK Prasad said, ‘I think players like Virat and Rohit and Shami, Bumrah, Siraj, Jadeja and Hardik should definitely be included in the team. These are all important aspects of the team. There are some other places where I would like to keep Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson. If KL Rahul does wicketkeeping then who will be your second keeper? What if Rishabh Pant is fit or Ishan Kishan is ready? If both these players remain fit then who will play in the top order? I don’t think we need a player like him in the top order.
