West Indies was once the strongest cricket team in the world. However, because of many reasons, the team has declined a lot in recent times. In the ongoing T20 World Cup tournament, the Caribbean side lost to the associate teams like Scotland and rising Test-playing nation Ireland to crash out of the mega event in the opening round itself.
The President of Cricket West Indies has said that there will be a proper analysis of where things went wrong for the Carribean side. One of the probable reasons why the Men in Maroon had a lackluster campaign this year was the absence of their star players. While the likes of Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Kieron Pollard are focusing only on league cricket these days, the following two players have left the Caribbean side and joined another country.
Many fans think that if the following two players return to the Caribbean team, it can inch one step closer to achieving greatness again. Here’s a list of those two names.
1. Jofra Archer, Played U-19 cricket for West Indies but now playing for England
Fast-bowling all-rounder Jofra Archer was born in Barbados, but he plays international cricket for the England team. Archer is one of the best fast bowlers in the world right now. If he changes his mind and decides to play for the Men in Maroon again, the Caribbean side will receive a massive boost in all the formats of the game.
2. Chris Jordan
Archer’s teammate Chris Jordan is one of the best T20 all-rounders in the world at the moment. He has made a name for himself with his wicket-taking abilities. Jordan was born in Barbados as well. He is 34 years old right now and has a few years of cricket left in him.
Many cricketers have changed their nations of late. It will be interesting to see if Archer and Jordan think about it.
