ST JOHN’S – Legendary former pacer Sir Curtly Ambrose says tweaks need to be made to the controversial eligibility rule, in order to have the best players available for West Indies duty.
Sir Curtly, who currently serves as a West Indies team bowling consultant, said while he appreciated the objective of the rule, the overall focus should be on ensuring the region always fielded its best XI.
“I still believe that there are a few guys out there who I believe can play the ODIs and the Test cricket but there is a criteria that you have to play the first class cricket here in the region to be selected or eligible for Test cricket and you have to also play the regional one day tournament to play for the ODI [team],” The Observer newspaper quoted sir curtly as saying on a sports radio show here.
