By CNW Reporter

Recently elected Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley believes West Indies cricket is being badly hampered by a lack of management, and says there was no adequate system in place to ensure the region produced a successful cricketing product.

Taking aim at the West Indies Cricket Board, Rowley said Windies players were often not sufficiently equipped by regional authorities to compete against the best on the international scene.

Rowley was speaking against the backdrop of the latest controversy which saw West Indies head coach Phil Simmons suspended by the WICB for comments critical of the selection process, in regards to the one-day team for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka.
