Despite the Caribbean team that participates in international matches, Cricket West Indies (CWI) has chosen to allow its players to finish their IPL contracts. For teams such as the Gujarat Titans and the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are losing some important players because or their international confirmations, the CWI failure should be a great relief.
Players such as Sherfane Rutherford and Romario Shepherd, who have made significant contributions to their teams, will be necessary for GT and RCB, who have a good gain to qualify for playoffs. After the league stage, both GT and RCB will be without some of their foreign players.
“With respect to the next Odi tours of Ireland and England from May 21 to June 3, Crickt West Indies recognizes this as an exceptional and unforeseen situation. However, we remain sure of the depth and quality of our talent and we are committed to presenting a strong and competitive squad to represent the Western Indies with pride,” CWI said in a statement.
Rutherford performed mainly as an impact player for the Tiants, contributing to some useful blows to the team’s success with 299 in 11 games to an average of 38 and an attack rate of 159. At this time, the Titans are leading the table. Shepherd played in four games, but only hit in one, which had a significant influence for RCB when reaching a 378 attack rate and scoring an undefeated winning game of 53.
In addition to Rutherford and Shepherd, the eight players of the Western Indies who participate in the Premier League of India 2025 are Andre Russell (KKR), Sunil Narine (KKR), Rovman Powell (KKR), Nicholas Pooran (LSG) and Shamar Joseph. For the next White Ball series, the Western Indies team has only selected three of them: Rutherford, Shepherd and Joseph.
Shamar Joseph will not return to India for the rest of the IPL, according to CWI. Sherfane Rutherford will be replaced by John Campbell by the Ireland stage, while Shimron Hetmyer, which is not available for the Ireland stage, will be included in the team for England Games (the RR of Heryer has few possibilities of four). Romario Shepherd will be replaced by Jediah Blades.
