This Hebrew recalls Ian Chappell saying he approached Don Bradman on the behalf of Australian internationals and first class players. Don Bradman rejected every proposal. Australian Cricket Board refused to ensure cricketers were handsomely remunerated for their skills in the sports industry. Kerry Packer filled the void
CWI must improve scouting 17-26 year old prospects. CWI must lock up the prospects with performance developmental incentive stipend/contracts to December 31, 2032 with availability for test match appearances the priority. The stipend/contracts, must permit a T20 franchise appearance as for supplemental income. This Hebrew is saying such actions will prevent repeating the issues CWI experienced with obtaining international appearances of Pooran, Russell and Pollard and the major entertainers 2014-2024.

Observations and solutions
short and long term
30 consecutive years of miserable international cricket is too long for the mess to be acceptable
CWI and its affiliates are the major reason for the travesty
Why aren’t test matches annually in Jamaica and Guyana?
Perhaps, 3 T20Is, 2 ODIs and 2 tests matches per affiliates annually is the best possible solution
CWI and its affiliates must express transparent communications and directives to the top tier cricketers stating the cricketers must make themselves available for test match selection to be eligible for international competition
CWI and its affiliates must choose one captain and vice captain – for international competition Perhaps, Lewis, King, Pooran, and Hetmyer, are the best candidates
CWI and its affiliates must offer performance based stipends or contracts to 19 -28 years annually as per CWI competitions
CWI and its affiliates must close the door upon those refusing to comply
The affiliate boards must be impressed to exclude top tier cricketers from their squads and teams who refuse to make themselves available for test match selection
CWI and its affiliates must eradicate the political nonsense of ethnic bias and national cleavage.
CWI and its affiliates must Publish depth charts -
top 6 batsmen; opening batsmen; against regional spinners; against international spinners; left handed batsmen;
top 6 bowlers; fast bowlers; left arm fast bowlers; right arm fast bowlers;
spinners; off spinners; leg spinners; left arm spinners;
top 6 Wicket keepers
CWI and its affiliates must lively up the wickets in the Caribbean
CWI and its affiliates must select players based on merit and performance in various geographies; CWI must consider three trial matches is sufficient yardstick for test selection
