I guess there are pros and cons to privatizing but I am inclined to think that the pros outweigh the cons at this time in our history. If the WICB is still in control and the team remains 'The WI Cricket Team', I would not be too concerned about where they play.

What must be very disheartening to the fans is that we have the talent but, for some reason, we are not getting 100% out of the boys. Could it be money?

Also, I would expect a private owner to upgrade training facilities, professionalize the sport even more and, of course, pay the players what they are worth. If we don't do something, good prospects will continue to look elsewhere for work. I read sometime ago that Sammy Sosa said if he did not play baseball, he would have chosen to play cricket for the WI. In fact, I think he does play some cricket during the off season.
