Apparently your argument looks solid bro, but isn't guys like McClenaghan retired back in 2018, and Corey left it too to be part of lucrative leagues some years back
Williamson playing any T20 is a travesty. They have guys like Seifert so many other youngsters. Why are they p laying this dude who scores one impact innings every 25 innings.
They reached 3 icc finals since 2018, they didn't miss those guys at all. What a downfall
I think they lost T20 series to bangladesh at home.
But lol wasn't it IPL which turned the big stars like Rachin and D. Mitchell into poor performers in WC 2024. That also in just under 6 months from CWC 2023.
Totally, now West Indies cricket is making a comeback in T20s only because of IPL and other leagues.
Good point, but if the central contracts are too lucrative like Cricket Australia then players hardly turn their back.
Exactly. IPL has actually created a mini resurgence for cricket in West Indies as many young athletes dream of landing that IPL bonanza like Chris Gayle & Andre Russel
wIndians do it all the time , Look at Naraine, Pollard , Russel..
Amir and Imad were on same spree, so some West Indians but in the long term its inimical for cricket of respective countries as already evident from WI cricket example who look non existent in longer formats like ODI and Tests
This is a good point actually. It's potentially even a factor for some associate players too
Yeah but good cricketers make good money anyway. If we want contracts than that should be for the under 16, under 19 talented kids who are unknown to the world.
participation. On other hand at the same time lets also blame non participation of Pakistani players in IPL ,as reason for their T20 WC first round exit loosing to H1B visa team. On the contrary, because of IPL at least NZ and WI young generation has taken up cricket (T20) as they see it a an earning potential like NBA or NFL outside their countries because their boards cant provide that kind of money.
If there was no IPL, then NZ as well as WI cricket would probably drowned due to lack of $$$$.
Anyway its easy for narcissistic to blame IPL... ignoring the fact that since IPL started NZ has reached ODI World cup final twice, won test championship and performed quite well in T20 World cups. WI has infact won T20 World cups after IPL started. So wonder if blame for cricket downfall is given to IPL ,why is it not given credit when players succeed for their countries after playing IPL.
But ya blame that downfall on IPL
So if you play in IPL it is responsible for your cricket degrading, but even if you don't play in IPL it is still responsible for your cricket degrading.
Call it whatever you want, but it's a fact that IPL not only ruining cricket but also flopping top performers. What about IPL top scorer Kohli? How he is doing this WC leave alone Rachin, Daryl Mitchell, Finn Allen, Conway etc
Kohli has headlined 2 world T20s by winning MoS.
downfall is a stretch dont u think, they lost to Windies and Afghanistan. The only problem was because of IPL they could not have any warm up games. their players are making less money than Pak players so obviously to keep their talent their board has to allow for players to play in leagues. Rest assured Kane Willaimson will still be playing test cricket and giving it his all unlike Bobsy king
Wait how is Williamson, Conway and Bracewell frauds?
Rachin and Finn Allen aren't even IPL regulars:
100 run opening partnership coming up for next 3 games bhai, just you wait
Mr Hitman just scored a 40 ball 90 run against Aussies. Sit down.
This is a decent point.
Well, Good luck for the next matches then
I think the blame sits squarely on the fans. No one else.
