Dear Editor,
HAVING been advised by CWI to make himself available for selection to the West Indies squad against England in the recent ODI series, Nicolas Pooran appeared in only one game. The potential damage to a young player’s confidence, plus the additional pressure to perform when next he is selected is hardly the recipe for a successful international career.

One notes that both Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer were given repeated opportunities to make amends after numerous failures. So why not Pooran?
Pooran was given a lucrative deal to take part in the PSL T2O tournament now in progress in Pakistan. He must be wondering now if he made the right decision.
