ason Holder, Kyle Mayers and Nicholas Pooran declined the offer of central contracts but confirmed their availability for all West Indies T20 Internationals during the contract year. – Read the official statement from the West Indies Cricket Board.
“With a busy year of cricket ahead, in all three formats, we have held several detailed discussions with the two Head Coaches on the brand of cricket they want to play. We are very clear in the direction we want to go. The players who have been offered contracts are among those who we expect to feature, as we look to build towards challenging for the top spot when we host and compete in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 on home soil. We also have away Test Series in Australia and England – these are two major assignments whilst in the 50-over format we look to build a nucleus of players aimed towards the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027,” said Dr. Desmond Haynes, the West Indies Men’s Lead Selector.
But it is not all dark and gloom for the West Indies cricket board. Despite denying central contracts the trio has made it clear that they will be available for T20I matches during the contract year.
With West Indies missing out on the ODI World Cup after failing to qualify the Caribbean side are eager to prove to the world why they were once the champions in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
