policyAs part of the WICB’s commitment to international cricket, the player must participate in regional cricket when not representing the West Indies.
The quality of regional tournaments is enhanced by the participation of the best players from the region and therefore it is imperative that they make themselves available for selection for the duration of the tournament/competition/series.
Only in exceptional circumstances should the WICB excuse a player from participating in a regional tournament.
However, selectors may consider a player who is available but who has not been selected by his territorial team, unless that player has not been selected because of disciplinary reasons.
Can the West Indies T20 team afford to lose these players with the automatic disqualification for 2011 or will they make an exception?
