Equally so, an official explanation is still awaited for the earlier, mystifying omission of Ravi Rampaul from the provisional 30 for the forthcoming World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Given the ways of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), we shouldn’t hold our breath waiting.

They all come in the confusing aftermath of the pullout of the ODI team on its tour of India, leaving one ODI, one Twenty20 and three Tests abandoned.

Rampaul’s exclusion was the first; somehow, it slipped under the radar.
