ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Leeward Islands Hurricanes head coach, Winston Benjamin, has lamented his non-involvement in the selection of the squad for the Professional Cricket League season and has lambasted the process as “dictatorial”.

“I was basically a spectator, so to speak, and having known the players and seeing what happened last year I thought that my contribution would have been part and parcel of the whole selection process, because as far as I know, I was a selector,” the Observer newspaper quoted Benjamin as saying.
“But unfortunately in that meeting I didn’t understand what was going on as everything I said was objected to. At one point I just kept quiet. (CMC)
