Director of Cricket West Indies (CWI), Jimmy Adams, has reiterated the fact that special consideration is given to players who may have physiological or chronic conditions when conducting or conducting fitness tests, as is the case in often in standard international practice.
In light of the omission of batsman Shimron Hetmyer from the West Indies squad, ahead of the tour of Sri Lanka, on the grounds that the player failed to meet the required fitness standards, critics have pointed fingers at other team members. they suspect the ability to meet the requirements.
While few expressed reservations about the fitness level of legendary batsman Chris Gayle, most highlighted the continued inclusion of Cornwall’s Rahkeem. The all-rounder is listed as 6 ‘7 ”and 308 lbs but has performed credibly for the West Indies on a few occasions, most recently against Bangladesh.
