Kudos to WI players on strike

The Editor, Sir:

Kevin O'Brien Chang could not have said it any better. I must agree with Kevin and I support the players who are on strike.

Personally, I will not be attending any of the matches until the issue is resolved between the West Indies Players' Association and the West Indies Cricket Board. Kudos to the players outside of the squad that played India, who have not made themselves available for participation and will not be making themselves available for selection until the issue is resolved.

They have rights

Cricket has grown to become a professional sport and the players should be treated as such. Regardless of their performances, it is their job, they have their rights and a life outside of cricket. It is a disgrace to watch the only combining force of the Caribbean being demised at such an unprecedented rate. Let it be known that this is as a result of the head of the stream.

I am, etc.,
