Cricket West Indies’ Director of Cricket, Jimmy Adams and Lead Selector of the men’s selection panel, Roger Harper, on Thursday outlined the rationale for awarding contracts to batsmen.

Speaking via Zoom at a press conference, Adams said that the structure looked to incorporate a system to even out performances over a couple of years using what was described as a “weighted average.”

Said Adams, “So if a player came in the current cycle with stats that weren’t as strong as their previous cycle then what would happen was they would do a weighting over a two-year period.”
