Cricket selectors never cease to amaze me with their policies

Dear Editor,
Having followed the recently concluded Jaguars Franchise League Three-day cricket tournament, the competition which is used to select the Guyana Jaguars Four-day team, I am assuming our selection policy is biased, or lacks authenticity.
Sidelining two promising youngsters that have performed well enough to earn themselves a place in the Guyana Jaguars Four-day team, without an opportunity to exhibit their talent at the next level, has done more bad than good for our youths.
As Cricket West Indies is aiming to rebuild, we are at the junction where the CWI is blinded towards retirees, yet our selectors find it conducive to include in their squad Shivnarine Chanderpaul, a man who, without any doubt, has done Guyana and West Indies proud, but should also know when to call it a day.
I will be criticised for calling a spade a spade, but my question is: Is Shiv playing for selection in the West Indies Team?
Some may want to argue that youth is sacrificed for experience, but how can we equate this if our youths are not given the chance to prove themselves at the next level?
Every youngster coming up will not be a Shivnarine Chanderpaul, but each is talented in his own capacity, and should rightly be given the opportunity, as it is owed to them through their performance in the Jaguars Franchise League Three-day tournament.
I am forced to ask: What’s the significance of the Jaguars Franchise League Three-day tournament if performance is not used as a yardstick for selection?
With outstanding performances such as Akshaya Persaud’s: A chart-topping 523 runs in the Jaguars Franchise Three-day league, the competition should have been used to select the Guyana Jaguars Four-day team. He had a total of 941 runs in 13 games over the last two seasons, with three hundreds and four fifties at an average of 52, what else is required?
Come on, Mr Griffith; as the Head of the selection panel, at least demonstrate some ability to select justly.

Yours faithfully,
Mustafaa Azimullah
