উইন্ডিজ লেজেন্ড ক্লাইভ লয়েড কঠিন ভাবে বর্তমানে ক্রিকেটের বিভিন্ন সমস্যা এবং উইন্ডিজ বোর্ডের যে অচলাবস্থা তা নিয়ে কথা বলেছেন। Worth the read. # We cant have three countries ruling cricket. It cant be done. It comes back to money. I hope one day everything will come back to normal. I think the ICC should be running cricket. They should say to the highest bidder, television company to send out a tender - saying we want 5 million for so many Test matches for the next couple of years. That money should be distributed either on rankings or equally. That money can be used to run cricket properly. Players can be paid better. If we are saying Test cricket is the highest cricket you can play, you should be paid better. We all have to sit down and work out a better system for all countries. # They [the players] earn a good wage and thats the situation that they have. They have the choice to play Test cricket or T20, Lloyd, who is head of the West Indies selection panel, said. We are small islands and if you get a whole host of money, you are a king. This T20 competition has messed our cricket up. # Someone like Andre Russell, I spoke to him only a month ago and said you can get into our Test side because you are one of the best all rounders in the world. A couple of weeks later he told me he has got a bad knee and could only play one-dayers. Its such a waste that we have a guy who could be a great cricketer who is now not thinking of playing both formats. We have contracts, probably not as exorbitant as others, but they are getting good money. It doesnt seem playing for our country is paramount where these players are concerned. # I dont think there is any cricketer who should strike for money now because they are well paid. We have to impart to our young people the importance of playing for your country. Money is a subsidiary of success.
