Impact of Twenty20 format on WI cricket, money

– By George Alleyne – Caribbean Life News – March 17, 2018

The need for money to ensure survival of the game was the common ground reached in a discussion among former Test greats and Barbados cricket administrators.

The legendary West Indies opening batting pair, Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes, earlier this week departed from the cohesion for which they are known while plundering bowlers the world over, and disagreed publicly on whether Twenty20 cricket is destroying the game.    READ MORE
