them gain selection for the West Indies squad for the ICC T20 World Cup.
Ian Bishop, former West Indies international and Hero CPL commentator said:
“The commentary panel, in selecting the team of the tournament would like to
commend the teams and players for making the job a very challenging one.
A few players stood head and shoulders above the crowd due to their high level
of excellence, and their performance simply made their case impossible to
ignore. With the remaining selections there was vigorous debate and sometimes
splitting hairs due to the high levels of performance and competition for similar
roles from experienced, mid-level and young players.
“The abundance of talent, enthusiasm and passion shown by so many players in
2021 was laudable and once again made the tournament extremely competitive
and compelling viewing. We accept and welcome the view that fans will have
varying opinions and debates on their favorite commend all the players for their
distinguished efforts throughout the tournament.”
