Congratulations to Red Force batter Amir Jangoo on a superb double century against CCC. I witnessed his masterclass innings at UWI SPEC, and thoroughly enjoyed the domination over CCC, he almost broke a glass pane in the gym! Haters will say, it’s only CCC, it does not matter, we must be ruthless against any opposition. Amir Jangoo has given Desmond Haynes a serious selection headache ahead of the West Indies tour of England later this year.

This is what it’s about, the red force setup should be a stepping stone and talent pool for West Indies selection across all formats. Who doesn’t want to play? Fine, not a problem, give opportunities to other players and we will move on, there will be more Shamar Josephs to come. For those who want to return, they must join the line with everybody else. Competition is good, good for the West Indies, we will get the best to represent. I urge Jangoo to continue his form, work on his mentality and shed some weight to be lighter on his feet.

Kevin Sinclair or Gudakesh Motie is the “Narine” bowler that Daren Sammy is looking for. Perhaps Sinclair can be that bowler in the longer formats for batting depth, he has the numbers to show for it in this regional 4-day tournament. Motie has T20 winning experience with Guyana Amazon Warriors, I recommend him as the final piece of the puzzle that will win us the T20 World Cup.
