Does playing for the A-team right now make him a "foreign player" though? and with him holding a british passport how can be be deemed a "foreigner" anyway? that rule doesn't make sense, the bottom line is every cricketers aim should be to play Test cricket, that's the ultimate achievement, so if he believes in his own ability then why shouldn't he grab the chance? Darren and Barath have had some tough spells and are still in the team so it's not like he'd be totally discarded if he failed once for WI, if you're good enough you'll be kept in the team,mikesiva wrote:The issue with Chesney is not between playing for England and playing for Windies, but between playing for Derbyshire and playing for Windies....
Right now, as a resident of a British colony, he's playing for Derbyshire as an English player. If he gets into the WI team, he will automatically become an international player, and the counties are only allowed one international player. Derbyshire will be keen for Chesney to remain English as long as possible.
The question is this: will Chesney be keen to give up his county contract to play for the West Indies?
Plus i'm sure there are other county sides who would be happy to take him on if he plays for WI too, just like Warickshire with Chanders.
