West Indies great Garfield Sobers
thinks the increasing player
preference for Twenty20 leagues over
conventional formats of the game has
contributed to the decline of Caribbean
cricket.
He says the players need to strike a
balance between money and national
duty.
Sobers is visiting Sri Lanka to watch
the second cricket test between Sri
Lanka and West Indies starting
Thursday. The series is being played
for Sobers-Tissera trophy, named in
honor of the West Indies allrounder
and Michael Tissera, a national captain
in Sri Lanka's pre-test era.
He said because West Indies selectors
struggle to pick their best team due to
the unavailability of players on T20
contacts, it may take a long time for
the sport to recover in his region. Source: Original Source
