Lack of A team tours, clashing fixtures, responsible for limited captaincy tryouts

Roger Harper

West Indies Chief Selector, Roger Harper has attributed the clashing domestic season in the Caribbean with International series as well as the limited A-team tours as some of the reasons that lead to inadequate opportunities to try out new captains.

Harper, at the time was speaking to the media during a press conference from New Zealand.

He stated, “One of the challenges we have is that on tours these days, I mean the modern tour doesn’t have a lot of first-class games so you know so that guys other than the leader of the team or the touring party will have opportunities to showcase their ability as captains.”
